The mission of the Chatham County Board of Elections is to plan and conduct fair, secure elections according to state and federal election laws. The Board makes policy decisions related to elections and provides direction to the County Elections Director, but the director is appointed by the State Board of Elections.

A major focus of the Elections Office is to maintain accuracy and security of both voter registration information and the voting process, including ensuring that each voter’s records reflect that voter’s correct precinct and ensuring that those who choose to vote have not been deterred or denied in any way.

MEETINGS: The meetings are typically held the 3rd Tuesday of each month at 5:30 p.m. but may vary depending on holidays and election preparations. They are usually held at the Board of Elections Office, located at 964 East Street, Suite 101, Pittsboro.
