About Board of Elections
Each County in North Carolina has a Board of Elections. It is a three person
board which is appointed every two years by the State Board of Elections.
(Members of the State Board of Elections are appointed by the Governor.)
County Board members take an oath and begin their two year terms Tuesday
following the third Monday in July in odd-numbered years. No more than two
members of the County Board of Elections shall belong to the same political
party.
The Board of Elections is responsible for conducting all elections held in
Forsyth County. The Board administers, locally, State election laws. Principal
functions include establishing election precincts and voting sites, appointing
and training precinct officials, preparing and distributing ballots and voting
equipment, canvassing and certifying the ballots cast in elections, and
investigating any voting irregularities. It maintains voter registration and
participation records and provides public information on voters and elections.
