Electoral Board Meeting   9/26/2025

And Jim, you've gotten yours returned, is that right?

It's in the bin today.

That's based on the number of ballots that have been mailed out and the number of people who have voted in-person absentee.

The mailed out voters haven't voted in-person.

So voters are voting.

Yeah, yeah.

and wait to be recognized so that we don't all talk over each other and the secretary has the ability to take accurate minutes.

Do we have any comments from anybody?

Old business, Mr. Vice Chairman, would you like to talk about the voting system security?

Based on feedback from the board at its last meeting, we've, I believe, completed in principle the voting system security plan, and therefore we shouldn't be ready to sign the letter that the state requires us to return to them.

And you have a few couple of comments that you'd like to make in closed session before we come out and sign it after we come out, is that correct?

Thank you.

New business.

One or the other.

And I will call ahead to make sure we have times ready and appointments so that we don't just drop in unexpectedly as you would if you were a guest in anyone's house.

Go with the schools as they are?

Elections Manager.

I have a small request.

Magisterial District is better if you list the precinct.

We also have makeup training that will be on the 25th with also we're offering DS300 and Express Pro training on October 25th as well.

Okay, any other questions on that?

Just busy month.

And you're going to be able to state that.

Yes.

Yes, ma'am, we would like to, we're saving the best for last.

You want to go ahead?

No, you go ahead.

the registrar Debbie was there when I was there and so we met to for him to give us an in-depth overview of the process for handling, purchasing, invoicing, reconciliation, and the master Amazon account and so we did that that was very good and then how to work in the system that they have called Tyler.

How to pay your bills.

By the end of that meeting, we will have paid a bill, we would have invoiced somebody, et cetera.

There's a lot to do, and you are working as rapidly as anybody could possibly work, but you're finding a lot of things, and that's why you've arranged these meetings with our finance officers.

That was good, it was very good.

Good.

Thank you.

What was the name of the person?

Bino, T-U-B-I-N in finance.

Okay, all right, guys.

We have a meeting on October the sixth

Correct.

We were an absolute emergency, but we prefer not to have a meeting when not all three of us are present, so.

Are you all all right with doing that, Bucky?

And from a notice standpoint, if we got to the 6th and decided we're going to have a meeting on the 10th, we're still in good shape for that.

Sure.

Let's try to squeeze her in.

Gentlemen, I'm not sure that we can survive not having a meeting next week.

I have a 25-step plan for how to schedule a meeting.

And we're not asking.

You can do that.

Okay, so, yep, go ahead, before we go into executive, okay.

Do we want them to do that?

Well, that ship has sailed, so it's really- They've already been moved.

They've been mailed.

Just receiving one doesn't entitle you to bear the sticker.

That's correct.

I don't want to add to that off any.

Yes, ma'am.

The next meeting is the 6th?

No meeting next week.

What time is that meeting?

The meeting on the 6th is actually... Oh no, the meeting on the 6th and the afternoon line are absolutely right.

You're right, it's 1 o'clock.

It's 1 o'clock.

And I'm sorry, and then what was the next one you just said?

And that's 930.

That's in addition to.

Sure.

It would be, well.

Well, we might.

We didn't for this meeting either.

OK.

So it doesn't figure out.

Thank you.

I don't know if the people online are interested that

They've all been posted to our YouTube channel, which is apparently where the county posts long videos, so.

And those are videos of the Electoral Board meetings.

Not birthdays or those kinds of things.

Do we have a motion?

So moved.

We will come back into open session, but effectively,

It's saying recording in progress, but it doesn't pick up the beginning of that.

Chair entertains a motion to accept the seven applications we saw.

I got it.

And we interviewed candidates for personnel matters.

the Elections Manager briefly was here.

All in favor, aye in open session.

Okay, now I move the approval of seven new officers in elections for the term of one year beginning March 1, 2025.

All in favor, say aye.

And their names will be appended on a separate page or on the minutes page.

Would you like to address the letter you signed?

I move that the electoral board, which has prepared to and has a fixed-in signature to the voting system security plan, dated September 26, 2025, approve that.

All in favor, say aye.

Approve the voter system security.

Approve the certification to the state.

Approve the certification to state.

That we have the voting system security plan in place, as well as the LPSS plan, the state also requires.

I second.

All in favor say aye.

Aye.

The motion is adjourned at 1028.

Next meeting will be October the 6th as previously stated.

I'm going to stop recording.
