Abstracts GR printed three copies of each Abstract for the June 2025 Primary Election. The Electoral Board verified that the results on the Abstracts matched the DS200 tapes and Statements of Results. Each Abstract was signed by the Electoral Board and affixed with the City of Fredericksburg seal. N. Local Candidate Eligibility A question has been raised to GR whether an employee of Fredericksburg City Public Schools is eligible to run for Fredericksburg School Board. The Nepotism Clause does not specifically address this issue. GR will reach out to ELECT and other GRs for insight into this issue. O. Ballot Order The GREB Handbook dictates that candidates shall appear on the Ballot according to the order in which their complete filings are received by the GR and certified by the Electoral Board. Each candidate receives and time- and date-stamped receipt for any and all submissions to GR. VERIS order is based on receipt of all complete and required paperwork. This language appears to be ambiguous to local candidates. GR will compile a list of local candidates, their documents, date/time of receipt of documents, and date of certification for review by the Electoral Board. Electoral Board will review the GREB regulations and establish a definitive local rule to cover this situation. P. Next Meeting Date The next regular meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, July 2, 2025. 601 Caroline Street Suite 500 Fredericksburg, VA 22401 Email: nedalsdncibupege Web: www.tredericksburgVAgov/Vote Telephone: 540-372-1030 Fax: 540-373-8381 FXBG City of Fredericksburg Office of Voter Registration & Elections Electoral Board Canvass Meeting (continued) June 23, 2025 Page 14 Q.
