The Board of Elections and Voter Registration Board Meeting was called to order

by the Chairperson, Walter J. Wright, Jr.



Motion was made and seconded to accept the minutes of the February board

meeting as presented. Vote was unanimous.



COMMENTS:



Nancy told the Board that Raymond Shepherd?s last day will be Friday March 24,

2006.



The position will be advertised and City workers will have an opportunity to

apply.



NEW BUSINESS:



The Bill that has been presented to open the absentee ballots early is still

pending.



The Director will have a budget meeting with the City Manager on March 17th.

This is when she will justify what is requested in the budget. Nancy said that

she should have information on our position for the Board at the next meeting.



CORRESPONDENCE:



The Board was told that a letter was received from Mrs. Works King stating that

she does not intend to appeal the Board?s decision concerning her voter

registration.



Being no further business to discuss the meeting was adjourned.



A demonstration was given to the Board on the Express Poll equipment that will

be in use during the July Primary Election. The biggest problem with the

equipment is the handling of the machine and the synchronization. Each machine

has to be in synch at all times to keep a voter from voting twice.
