The Pamlico County Board Of Elections scheduled today (Sunday, October 28) as a day of One-Stop (early) voting.
Hurricane Sandy intervened. Last Friday, the Executive Director of the State Board of Elections, as the senior election official, cancelled One-Stop voting on October 28 in Pamlico County and certain other counties near the path of the hurricane. He also recommended that we curtail Saturday voting by one hour.
The County Board met on Friday and decided to shorten Saturday voting by one hour. As it turned out, voting began to slack off considerably over an hour before we closed the polls. Even so, nearly twice as many voters cast ballots on October 27 as had voted the previous Saturday.
Today we all got a day off.
Tomorrow it's back to early voting. The County Board will meet on Tuesday afternoon for its regular weekly review of absentee votes and will address any other remaining issues affecting voting this week and on election day.
