TOMPKINS COUNTY BOARD OF ELECTIONS WILL NOT BE RELOCATED TO LANSING: From http www.tompkinscountyny_.govINews-articles/Tompkins-County-affirms-its-commitment-to- democratic-accessibility-and-transparency After listening to these concerns and reflecting on the importance of the BOE's central role in upholding our democracy, the county has made the decision not to relocate the Board of Elections outside the city limits of Ithaca. Keeping the BOE within the seat of government is not only a logistical necessity but a symbolic commitment to the values of transparency, accessibility, and civic trust. "The county is actively exploring alternative locations within the City of Ithaca that will allow for the continued operation of the BOE without disruption, even as we move forward with essential redevelopment projects," stated Greg Mezey, Vice -Chair of the Tompkins County Legislature. "We remain steadfast in our mission to ensure continuity of services during this transition, while also preserving the integrity and accessibility of the democratic process for all Tompkins County residents," said Dan Klein, Chair of the Tompkins County Legislature. "Thank you for your engagement and continued partnership in shaping a government that reflects the voice and values of our community."
