Caywood County Administrator ISSUE: Request the Board of Supervisors to declare March as American Red Cross Month in the County of Roanoke STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adoption of the proclamation. Page 1 of 2 ACTION NO. ITEM NO. D.1 AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER MEETING DATE: February 24, 2026 AGENDA ITEM: RESOLUTION OPPOSING THE VIRGINIA REFERENDUM ON APRIL 21, 2026, ON THE PROPOSED CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT THAT WOULD GRANT THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY TEMPORARY AUTHORITY TO REDRAW THE STATE’S CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICTS MID-DECADE SUBMITTED BY: APPROVED BY: Richard L. Caywood County Administrator ISSUE: The Virginia referendum scheduled for April 21, 2026, is a special election on a proposed constitutional amendment that would grant the General Assembly temporary authority to redraw the state's congressional districts mid-decade. BACKGROUND: The Board of Supervisors of Roanoke County holds that the integrity of the electoral process is the cornerstone of a representative democracy and that “voters should choose their politicians, rather than politicians choosing their voters.” In 2020, Virginia voters overwhelmingly amended the Constitution of Virginia to establish a bipartisan Redistricting Committee, intending to end the practice of partisan gerrymandering and ensure that district lines remain stable for a full decade following the decennial census. DISCUSSION: The General Assembly is currently seeking to bypass these established protections through a proposed constitutional amendment to be voted on in a special election on April 21, 2026, which would grant the legislature temporary authority to redraw Page 2 of 2 congressional maps mid-decade. This Board opposes the proposed “10-1” Congressional Map, which seeks to engineer a predetermined partisan outcome of ten Democratic seats and one Republican seat, representing a blatant return to the “extreme partisan gerrymandering” that Virginia voters explicitly rejected in 2020. The proposed redistricting maps threaten the protection of rural interests by diluting the influence of Virginia’s agricultural and rural communities, often "packing" rural voters or attaching them to distant urban centers with vastly different economic and infrastructure needs. This Board expresses grave concern regarding the procedural integrity of this amendment, noting that the Tazewell County Circuit Court on January 27, 2026, ruled the General Assembly’s actions to be "void ab initio" and a "blatant abuse of power" for violating internal procedural rules and failing to provide the constitutionally required public notice. Rushing a constitutional change through a low-turnout special election-at a taxpayer cost of approximately $5 million-during an ongoing legal challenge creates unnecessary confusion and erodes public trust in the stability of our laws. FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact associated with the adoption of this resolution. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: This resolution has been prepared at the request of the Board of Supervisors. Page 1 of 2 AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER ON TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 2026 RESOLUTION OPPOSING THE VIRGINIA REFERENDUM ON APRIL 21, 2026, ON THE PROPOSED CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT THAT WOULD GRANT THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY TEMPORARY AUTHORITY TO REDRAW THE STATE’S CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICTS MID-DECADE WHEREAS, the Board of Supervisors of Roanoke County holds that the integrity of the electoral process is the cornerstone of a representative democracy and that “voters should choose their politicians, rather than politicians choosing their voters”; and WHEREAS, in 2020, Virginia voters overwhelmingly amended the Constitution of Virginia to establish a bipartisan Redistricting Committee, intending to end the practice of partisan gerrymandering and ensure that district lines remain stable for a full decade following the decennial census; and WHEREAS, the General Assembly is currently seeking to bypass these established protections through a proposed constitutional amendment to be voted on in a Special Election on April 21, 2026, which would grant the legislature temporary authority to redraw congressional maps mid-decade; and WHEREAS, this Board opposes the proposed “10-1” Congressional Map, which seeks to engineer a predetermined partisan outcome of ten Democratic seats and one Republican seat, representing a blatant return to the “extreme partisan gerrymandering” that Virginia voters explicitly rejected in 2020; and WHEREAS, the proposed redistricting maps threaten the protection of rural interests by diluting the influence of Virginia’s agricultural and rural communities, often Page 2 of 2 "packing" rural voters or attaching them to distant urban centers with vastly different economic and infrastructure needs; and WHEREAS, this Board expresses grave concern regarding the procedural integrity of this amendment, noting that the Tazewell County Circuit Court on January 27, 2026, ruled that the General Assembly’s actions to be "void ab initio" and a "blatant abuse of power" for violating internal procedural rules and failing to provide the constitutionally required public notice; and WHEREAS, rushing a constitutional change through a low-turnout special election—at a taxpayer cost of approximately $5 million—during an ongoing legal challenge creates unnecessary confusion and erodes public trust in the stability of our laws. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Board of Supervisors of Roanoke County: 1. Hereby expresses its unambiguous opposition to the proposed constitutional amendment and the April 21, 2026, special election; and 2. Calls upon the Virginia Supreme Court and the General Assembly to uphold the procedural integrity of the Constitution and protect the independent redistricting process from partisan interference. The Clerk shall provide copies of this resolution to each member of the Virginia House of Delegates and Senate that represents the County of Roanoke , and to United States Congressmen that represent the County of Roanoke.

Caywood County Administrator ISSUE: The current polling place for Hollins Precinct 206 is the Hollins Library. Due to planned construction in 2026 at the Hollins Library, it is necessary to temporarily relocate the polling place from the Hollins Library. BACKGROUND: Virginia Code § 24.2-306, § 24.2-307, and § 24.2-310 authorize the governing body of each county to establish the polling place for each precinct in that jurisdiction by ordinance. DISCUSSION: The current polling place for Hollins Precinct 206 is the Hollins Library. There is planned construction scheduled to begin at the Hollins Library in May 2026, which is expected to conclude in July 2027. Election officials have determined that the citizens would be better served with the temporary relocation of the Hollins District Precinct 206 polling place to North Roanoke Baptist Church, located at 6402 Peters Creek Road, Roanoke, Virginia 24019. Leaders at the North Roanoke Baptist Church have shared that the church agrees to serve as the temporary polling place for Hollins Precinct 206 during construction at the Hollins Library. An ordinance is needed from the Board of Supervisors to effectuate this temporary change in polling place. Page 2 of 2 There have been no changes since the first reading held on February 10, 2026. FISCAL IMPACT: To comply with the Virginia Code, this matter was noticed by publication in the Roanoke Times, and the County provided funds for that notice. There will also be costs associated with notices that must be sent by mail to registered voters impacted by this proposed polling place change. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Board of Supervisors approve this ordinance.
