Minutes
Hampton Electoral Board Meeting
July 16, 2025 10:00 a.m., Registrar’s Office
Approved with Changes 08.13.25
Present: Chair Rebecca Winn, Vice Chair Tom Harmon, Registrar Tara Morgan,
Secretary Matt Scott
Meeting called to order 10:10 a.m.
Representatives from HU and HPD were present at the meeting to discuss planning
considerations for the HU Homecoming parade. This is an issue because there is
early voting at the Registrar’s office the same day as the parade. Plans were
finalized that appear acceptable to all involved.
There is voter education and outreach to HU and VPCC leading up to the November
Election. We will be present on both campuses August 20 (12:00 noon @VPCC, and
3:00-4:30 at HU), as well as September 17 (1:00 p.m.) and October 16 (12:00-2:00)
at VPCC. The goal is to have more students register to vote prior to Election Day to
cut down on Same Day Registrations.
City Council will again take up the discussion of a new precinct on the campus of HU.
This will be on December 10.
Minutes from the June 17 EB canvass were approved as presented.
There were no comments made by our guests today.
Motion to go into Closed Session for personnel issues was properly made and
seconded. Closed session began at 10:23.
Motion was made and seconded to move into Open session, certifying that we only
discussed matters approved prior to closed session. Open session began again at
11:13 a.m.

Sunday voting – have we been able to coordinate with other cities in our area? Not
really. Each city does it’s own thing on this matter.
The meeting was made at ease as there were security and personnel matters to be
discussed. The meeting was not reconvened on 07.21 as planned due to sickness on
the part of our chairwoman, Rebecca.
The meeting is completed as of 11:30 a.m. on 07.31.25 due to this change. **
Sincerely submitted,
Matt Scott, Secretary
