Chatham County Board of Registrars News/Briefs
June 24 – Staff reported the June primary runoff was conducted with few problems despite delays in absentee ballot delivery caused by the U.S. Postal Service. Ballots were mailed on the earliest allowable date, June 1, but postal delays reduced the absentee ballot return rate to about 63%, below the typical 70%-plus rate. Early voting drew 5,663 voters at the voter registration annex and 1,264 at the Mosquito Control site, with 7,786 total early and absentee votes cast.

Context: The board publishes the agenda on the Monday before the Wednesday meeting, although they are a bit lacking in detail. They provide an option to call in via teleconference to hear the meeting and video of the meeting is also uploaded afterwards. They have been generally responsive to my inquiries.
