The Camden County Board of Elections and Registration held a regular meeting on June 20, 2025, where key discussions centered on voter turnout and polling logistics from the recent election. The meeting provided insights into early voting statistics and the challenges faced at polling locations.

During the meeting, it was reported that 423 early voters participated, alongside 45 absentee ballots submitted. However, two absentee ballots were rejected due to late submission, highlighting the importance of adhering to deadlines in the electoral process. This data reflects the engagement of the community in the electoral process, although the overall numbers indicate room for improvement.

One notable highlight was the turnout at Waverly's Precinct, which achieved the highest voter participation despite facing logistical challenges. With 1,875 registered voters, the precinct saw 73 individuals cast their votes, translating to a turnout of approximately 3.9%. The precinct's poll manager, Mr. Vernon Higgins, played a crucial role in ensuring voter access, particularly when unexpected construction work on the parking lot threatened to impede entry. His proactive measures ensured that voters could still access the polling place safely, demonstrating the importance of effective management in election settings.

In contrast, the North Saint Mary's Precinct reported the lowest turnout, with only 36 out of nearly 2,900 registered voters participating, resulting in a mere 1.24% turnout. This disparity in voter engagement across precincts raises questions about the factors influencing voter participation, such as accessibility and community outreach.

The meeting underscored the ongoing efforts of the Camden County Board of Elections to enhance voter participation and address logistical challenges. As the board continues to analyze turnout data and polling experiences, it remains committed to improving the electoral process for future elections. The discussions from this meeting will likely inform strategies aimed at increasing voter engagement and ensuring that all precincts can facilitate a smooth voting experience.
