Perry County election board approves $10 fee for printed walking lists, offers electronic copies free

Perry County election board members approved a resolution establishing a $10 per-precinct fee for printed walking-list packets while making electronic copies available at no charge.

Board members said the change is intended to reduce in-office traffic and paper costs. A committee member described the plan to encourage precinct chairs to request lists by email and to print double-sided copies where possible to conserve paper. The board discussed allowing chairs to request either an electronic copy (no charge) or a printed walking list for $10 per precinct.

After members agreed on language clarifying that electronic copies will be provided at no charge, a committee member moved to approve the revised resolution and another member seconded. The board voted by voice and the motion carried; the transcript does not record a numerical roll-call tally.

Officials also noted that budget cuts for paper and supplies this year factored into the decision. The resolution will be signed and implemented as edited; the transcript indicates members expected the clerk or staff to circulate the final document for signatures once prepared.

The board proceeded to other agenda items after approving the resolution.
