Yesterday, October 26, the ninth day of absentee voting, 315 Pamlico County voters cast votes. Yesterday afternoon, we consulted with the County and with the North Carolina State Board of Elections concerning Hurricane Sandy. We had planned to have early voting both Saturday, October 27 and Sunday, October 28.
After consulting with North Carolina emergency officials, the Coast Guard and NOAA, the State Board of Elections advised us that Sunday voting was a "no go." The State Executive Director cancelled our planned Sunday vote and recommended we curtail Saturday voting at least one hour. The County Board met yesterday and decided to cut Saturday voting by one hour.
Today, the turn out was 169 voters, nearly double the vote of last Saturday. It is now 11:15 pm Saturday, October 11 and the wind is out of the north at about 15 miles per hour.
