Board of Elections Board Meeting 10/06/2026

The Harnett County Board of Elections meeting on October 6, 2026, focused on election staffing and administration. Staff presented proposed election-worker, judge, and chief-judge assignments for early voting, including staffing across 147 shifts, one-hour shift overlaps for continuity, and party balance. Board members discussed how the appointment process should be recorded and interpreted under state guidance, and staff noted a role change at the Eastover site. The transcript does not show a clear motion or vote on the presented staffing list. The board approved the September 29 meeting minutes; members also discussed corrections to earlier minutes concerning party-chair recommendations and board appointments.

Public comments addressed poll-worker selection and training, allegations about worker treatment, precinct-boundary changes, voter-registration repairs, and requests to televise absentee-ballot review. Staff said individuals could contact the elections office about complaints affecting their selection. The meeting also included community announcements and fundraising references, but no government contract awards, solicitations, purchasing decisions, or budget allocations were identified.
