# June 16, 2026 Rockingham County Board of Elections Meeting

The Rockingham County Board of Elections held a meeting on June 16, 2026, primarily focused on decisions regarding the early voting schedule and polling site locations for upcoming elections. Public comments and community input emphasized the importance of weekend voting, particularly Sunday hours, to increase voter accessibility. The board discussed various early voting schedule options, including proposals for one or two Saturdays and a Sunday, weighing factors such as voter turnout efficiency, employee work schedules, and budget considerations. After debate, the board voted on two main options: one with two Saturdays and another including a Sunday. Neither option received unanimous approval, so the decision will be forwarded to the State Board of Elections for final determination. Additionally, the board approved returning the Eden early voting site to the Bridge Street Recreation Center, citing accessibility and parking concerns at previous locations. The meeting also included updates on candidate filing for local positions and plans to honor a long-serving precinct official. Overall, the meeting involved significant procurement-related discussions about voting site selection and early voting schedules, with motions passed on site location and voting plans sent to the state for resolution.
