What: The Board of Elections' preparation for the November 3, 2026 general election: absentee ballots, early voting, tabulator testing and a temporary polling place move.
Where it stands: Minutes show the Board approved precinct-official lists and 112 absentee ballots, tested five DS200 tabulators and moved Marshallberg/Smyrna voters for Election Day. Agendas for three October absentee meetings are posted without minutes. No meetings after October 20 were found.
Next: No further Board of Elections meeting was posted. Election results and the canvass were not found.
