Minutes, October 8, 2019 P a g e | 2 <br /> <br />more information is needed before the rates can be set. One key question concerns the <br />role, if any, that the City government has in setting the rates; the Registrar is waiting for <br />a response from the City Attorney before proceeding. Officer of Election compensation <br />has considerable budget impact. This is especially true for the three high-turnout <br />elections to be held in calendar year 2020. A decision on rate setting has been <br />postponed until the December meeting, yet to be scheduled. <br /> <br />Election Preparation <br /> <br />Ms. Virostko reported that absentee voting to date has been light with 231 mail ballots <br />sent out to date and 84 people voting absentee in person. <br /> <br />Mr. Mash reported that numerous key Officer of Election positions remain to be filled for <br />the November 5 election. Several potential candidates for these leadership positions <br />were suggested by the Board members and discussed with Ms. Morton.

The <br />equipment will be approved for use in Virginia elections following successful completion <br />of a pilot election on November 5. Ms. Virostko stressed that it will be necessary to <br />have received the new electronic poll books and for staff to have been trained on the <br />equipment by the first week of February 2020 if the new poll books are to be available <br />for use in the March 3 Presidential Primary.
