From the Orange County Indivisible email list:

There are indications that the Orange Board of Elections may pursue the course taken by other county's boards and suggest that the county discontinue using the Chapel of the Cross (on Franklin St, near the Morehead Planetarium) as an early vote site.

This will result in no early vote site close to the campus of UNC. 
You may have heard that a republican board member in western NC resigned his seat, saying he was feeling pressure from others in his party to discontinue the voting site near Western Carolina University. There has been a long battle, led by repubs, to keep voting sites away from universities. They don't want students to vote.

The board will be going over the suggested plan on voting sites at their next meeting-
Tuesday, June 9, 5pm, at the Board of Elections office,
208 S. Cameron St, in Hillsborough.

The board takes public comment at the beginning of their meeting--5pm start time.
After that they discuss items according to their agenda. The actual vote for or against planned voting sites will be taken at the board's JULY meeting. They plan to justify this action by showing the 'cost per vote' of this location compared to other locations.

If you, or anyone you know, values having a voting site at Chapel of the Cross, please plan to attend this meeting. Board members will be discussing the plan at this meeting and actually voting on it at the following meeting, to be held in July.

Parking is available on the downhill side of the building or on the street in front of the door, as shown.
If you know of others who may be interested, please forward to them.
Thank you.
