The Board reviewed the minutes from August 20, 2019. Mr. Coker moved to approve the

Business:
Since no ballots were returned, there was no absentee list to review.
The Board discussed 2020 One -stop. Due to the increased popularity of one -stop voting there are
some concerns about two locations, the BOE office and the Erwin Community building. These
sites are not large enough and the parking is limited. After some discussion Mr. Spears moved to
have Mrs. Jones contact the Lillington and Dunn Community buildings and see into using those
locations as replacements. Mrs. McCormick seconded. Approved without dissent.
Mrs. Jones also reported to the Board:
• Precinct Worker training was completed and all workers have been assigned
• One -Stop begins September 18

Mecklenburg County (BOE and Commissioners will attend one in or near Harnett in

• CIP for new voting equipment in FY 21-22 is due September 26
• BOE staff will attend all seasonal town festivals to promote registrations, early voting,
etc.
With no further business to discuss, Mr. Coker moved to adjourn. Mrs. McCormick seconded.
