The Perry County election board approved routine procedural resolutions for the 2026 election cycle, adopted the meeting minutes and authorized supply orders to support the upcoming primary.
Speaker 3 moved to accept the meeting minutes and to adopt several resolutions in the packet; motions to adopt (including resolutions labeled in the packet as 2026-1, 2026-2, 2026-4 and 2026-5) were seconded and carried by voice vote during the meeting. For the record, Speaker 3 made the initial motion on multiple resolutions and Speaker 2 seconded those motions.
The board also agreed quantities for election supplies. After tallying precinct needs and totes, members suggested ordering a larger inventory of materials that will be used countywide; the board agreed in discussion to order 100 copies of the election-day handbook and 100 voter information guides to ensure sufficient stock. Speakers discussed the need for 1 photo-ID poster in each precinct tote and inventorying existing signs before ordering additional copies.
On scheduling and logistics, speaker remarks confirmed procedural dates relevant to the primary: candidate filings are due by noon on the stated Friday deadline referenced in the meeting, the last day to register was noted as April 6, and early voting was recorded as starting April 7. The board said the vendor will set up voting machines and that public testing of equipment will be scheduled once machines and sample ballots are prepared.
What happens next: staff will finalize supply orders, work with the vendor on machine setup and public tests, and return to the board at the March 4 meeting (scheduled for 9 a.m.) with updates and the requested statutory clarifications.
