The motion was approved unanimously.
Mr. Halstead advised the Board of progress made toward Mrs. Taylor's suggestion of reinstating

the President of Campbell University, who was very positive towards the idea, and promised to
put the idea before their Executive Administration committee.
Mr. Halstead then reported on progress towards relocating the Government Center Commons
polling place to the Lillington Community Center. After speaking with Lillington Mayor Glenn
McFadden, Mr. Halstead learned that Mayor McFadden and the Town Council were still firmly
behind the proposal. Mayor McFadden promised to have the Town Council pass a resolution
reaffirming their support for the move.

application, and Mr. Massey seconded. The motion was approved unanimously.

polling place.

at the state level and the State Board of Elections they would actually take office this summer.
