# Summit County Board of Elections Board Meeting 10.06.2026

The Summit County Board of Elections meeting, held October 6, 2026 (the title date; the metadata timestamp falls on October 7 UTC), approved bills, payroll for September 7–20, the September 15 meeting minutes, and ballot remakes numbered UCR 2000–2036. Members discussed payroll projections and whether spending could exceed budget, but the transcript does not provide a clear final budget figure. The board approved Option A for replacement ballot-on-demand printers: approximately 15 units under a five-year lease, at about $1,207 per month, including maintenance and parts. The plan is to take possession in October and begin payments in January, with an estimated roughly $20 monthly increase over the alternative timing; members cited securing equipment availability for the 2027 primary as the reason. The motion passed without dissent. The board made no change to the November 3 ballot order.

Members also discussed limited voter parking during early voting and planned to re-engage the landlord about use of the shared lot; no parking-policy or spending action was taken. Staff reported receiving nearly 5,000 late voter-registration cards from Field Forwarding Ohio and discussed processing deadlines and a possible later referral of cards submitted more than 10 days after signing. The prior $14 million facility outfitting cost and an estimated $20,000 shuttle expense were mentioned as historical context and savings, not as new spending approvals.
