November 3rd, 2024 BOE meeting CANCELLED. Hand Eye Recount Scheduled Soon.

    The November 3rd, 2024 regularly scheduled meeting of the Beaufort County Board of Elections is cancelled.

    A sample hand eye recount of the NC Supreme Court Associate Justice Seat 6 Contest has been called. The Beaufort County Board of Elections was informed on November 3rd at 10:12 am that the random precinct chosen for the sample hand eye count was the Beaufort County Board of Elections Early Voting Site. 12,463 ballots were cast here during the early voting period and represents 46.7% percent of the votes cast in the county.

    The sample hand eye count must begin within two business days of the request. At this time, staff is arranging for multiple bipartisan teams to conduct the count and coordinating availability with Board Members. It is expected that the recount will require a full day to hand count. The time of the recount will be announced as soon as it is finalized.
