Henderson County Board of Elections
Ms. Beverly Cunningham, Director

Dear Ms. Cunningham;

R/e Instant Runoff Voting for Hendersonville, NC.

On Marh 6, 2009 Hendersonville City Atty Samuel Fritschner sent a letter to the NC State Board of Elections advising the
that the city wished to participate in the Instant Runoff Voting Pilot for the 2009 Municipal elections.

Can you advise the following:

Has the State Board of Elections approved Henderson

Did the Henderson County Board of Elections hold a public meeting to discuss participating in the new Instant Runoff Voting Pilot Program?

If so, how was this meeting announced to the public?

Did the Henderson County Board of Elections voted to participate in the new Instant Runoff Voting Pilot?

If the answer is yes, how did the Board of Elections Members vote, i.e who voted in favor, who voted against?

Will the City of Henderson be holding elections for any multi seat contests in 2009?

Who are the candidates running in the 2009 municipal elections?

Have these candidates agreed to participate in an IRV election?

Has the city council and or mayor voted to participate in an Instant Runoff Election for 2009?

If so, did the Hendersonville City Council hold a public hearing about using IRV for 2009?

Do you have any communications from the Henderson City Council regarding desire to participate in an IRV election?


I look forward to hearing from you as soon as possible.
