Electoral Board

Establishment

The Constitution of Virginia establishes the requirement that each county and city shall have a three member electoral board to carry out the election duties for their jurisdiction as required by law. This constitutional requirement is satisfied in the Code of Virginia §24.2-106.

Regular Meetings

The three-member Chesterfield County Electoral Board is a "public body" under the Code of Virginia § 2.2-3701, Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). Therefore, all electoral board meetings are open to the public. The only exception is when the Board determines that an issue is within the scope of §2.2-3711(A) and goes into “Closed” session. A meeting will not be closed to the public unless the meeting is specifically made exempt by FOIA or another law.
