Steele <br />Street, Sanford, North Carolina. Commissioners Robert H. Brown and Jerry M. <br />Lemmond were in attendance. <br />Board of Elections representatives presented a plan to increase the <br />40 number of precincts in the county from thirteen (13) to eighteen (18) in order to <br />simplify ballots and avoid confusion at the polls during the 2008 presidential <br />election. A public hearing will be held on July 31, 2007, to receive comments <br />from the public on the proposed plan. If approved, the new plan would decrease <br />the number of precincts issuing multiple ballot forms by better aligning borders <br />with commissioner districts and city council wards. The plan must be approved <br />by the State Board of Elections and the U.S. Department of Justice before taking <br />effect. At least five new voting machines, totaling more than $27,000, will be <br />needed if the plan is approved. <br />The meeting adjourned at approximately 6:30 p.m. with no action taken. <br />Robert H. Brown, Chairman <br />Lee County Board of Commissioners <br />ATTEST: <br />Gaynell M. Lee, Clerk <br />C <br />
