Richmond Electoral Board chair 'puzzled' as to why registrar never opened two early voting locations

The Richmond Electoral Board chairman is speaking out after he learned the registrar did not open two out of three early voting locations in the city on the first day of early voting.

Chairman James Nachman said the electoral board was led to believe that all of the satellite voting locations including City Hall, Hickory Hill Community Center and the registrar’s office on Laburnum Avenue would be open to voters starting Friday, Sept. 17.

“I was surprised,” Nachman said on how he felt learning that Hickory Hill Community Center was closed to voters on the first day of early voting. He also pointed out that the early voting location at city hall was not opened either.

“This is a disservice to our community,” said frustrated voter and Southside resident Jackie Robinson.

She planned to vote this week at the Hickory Hill location, which is closest to her home, but now she can’t.
