Ms. McCloy,

	The only information I have is the copy of the letter you referenced 
dated March 6, 2009 from the Hendersonville City Attorney to the NC State 
Board of Elections.

	I have no further knowledge of their request and my board has not met in 
regard to the IRV request to the state.  I can tell you the seat for the Mayor 
of Hendersonville and two city council seats are up this fall.  The council 
seats have traditionally been a vote for two.

	As filing will not begin until July 6th and run through July 17th at 
noon, I have no idea who the candidates will be until filing ends.  

	Let me know if you need any further.

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.

Regards;
