Electoral Board Meeting   7/2/2026

All right, recording's in progress.

Welcome everybody to this called meeting of the Albemarle County.

It is July 2nd, 2026, and we're meeting today for the purpose of making assignments of officers of election, chiefs, assistant chiefs, et cetera, for the upcoming August 4th dual primary.

My name is Bucky Walsh.

Here with me is Valerie Dormady.

Our colleague, Jim Heilman, is reported to be somewhere nearby, but the two of us come to the forum, and it is the appointed hour, so we're going to start the meeting at this time.

I don't think there's any other business before we go into closed session, so I will move to take us into closed session.

We're going to close session.

Do we have any officers of election to consider?

John Adams swore up and down that we would be celebrating today.

Aye.

And we're going to go into closed session.

I'm going to ask everybody who's on the call to please drop off and we'll pause the recording.

Is the camera not on me?

Let's turn my video on.

Maybe that's okay.

I do have a question, but it's not directly related.

I move that the electoral board certify by a recorded vote that, to the best of each member's knowledge, only public business matters lawfully exempted from the open meeting requirements of the Virginia Freedom of Information Act and identified in the motion authorizing the closed meeting were heard, discussed, or considered in the closed meeting.

All those feeling that way, say aye.

Aye.

Aye.

Are they opposed?

No, they're not opposed.

So we are back in session.

Hang on, hang on, hang on.

Sorry.

A lot slower.

That we approve the list of officers of election, chiefs, and assistant chiefs.

that's officers of election and chiefs and assistant chiefs.

All those in favor say aye.

Aye.

Any opposed?

Hearing none, I don't think there's any other proper business before us.

Well, I had that question.

I'm still

bothered by the last meeting where I wrote down that we approved six people.

I wrote it down twice while the meeting was going on and I don't know why I would have written down six if we only had five.

We only had the five.

Okay.

All right.

I almost like to look back at the tape.

So, our next meeting is next Thursday at nine, over in the other room, and I move to adjourn.
