The Beaufort County Board of Voter Registration and Elections unanimously approved routine meeting business on May 28, including acceptance of minutes from April 23 and a draft letter to Administrator Michael Moore concerning early voting centers and parking at Bluffton and Beaufort sites.

The board first moved to accept the April 23, 2025 meeting minutes. "Alene Mitchell moved that the 04/23/2025 board meeting minutes be accepted," and Mr. Bakker seconded; the motion carried after the chair called for the ayes.

Later in the meeting the board considered a draft letter to Administrator Michael Moore that provided early-voting center data and raised parking concerns at Bluffton and Beaufort early voting centers. A board member moved to accept the letter; the motion was seconded by Alene Mitchell and the board voted in favor. Members acknowledged suggestions about curbside parking data but decided to keep the letter high level as an opener for further discussions with the administrator.

The board then voted to adjourn. The motions were taken in open session and recorded as approved; no roll-call tallies were read aloud in the minutes.
