Precinct 19-19 has been divided: In May of 2025 the Board of Elections divided Precinct 19-19 into 19-24 (has the new polling place, Hope Lutheran Church) and 19-25 (has the old 19-19 polling place, Sanford Creek Elementary School). There is no more Precinct 19-19. By now all previous 19-19 voters should have received a new voter card from the BOE telling you your updated precinct assignment. PLEASE carefully review your card. You don't want to go to the wrong polling place in November.
If you haven't received your new card (showing 19-24 or 19-25), one reason may be that you moved since registering and haven't notified the BOE about your change of address, so they sent the card to your registered (previous) address. USPS is directed not to forward the card to your new address. It gets returned to the BOE and eventually your registered (old) address is marked as requiring verification ("V"), causing you, the Precinct Officials, and the BOE to do much more work on and after the next election in which you try to vote. YOU must notify the BOE whenever you move to a new address. No voter registration change occurs automatically because of paying real estate taxes on your new house, or getting a new driver license, etc. See "Information Mainly for Precinct 19‑25 Voters" for details about checking and updating your voter registration data. Just keep it up-to-date.
I was the Chief Judge for Precinct 19-19 and am the author of the website you are now viewing as well as the prior "Information Mainly for Precinct 19‑19 Voters" web page. At this point I don't know if I will be the Chief Judge for Precinct 19-25. Such personnel assignments are not complete until the BOE makes things official in late August. If I do become the CJ for 19-25, I will fully update this website and the "Information Mainly for ..." web page to reflect 19-25 instead of 19-19. Meanwhile I'll make whatever changes I can, mainly in areas that apply to all precincts or things I can predict with some certainty for Precinct 19-25. Most of the new "Information Mainly for Precinct 19‑25 Voters" is carried over from the 19-19 version. As before there is a lot of general information, applicable to voters in any Wake County precinct. However much of the web page applies specifically to the Sanford Creek Elementary School polling place and will apply just to Precinct 19-25 voters. Note there may be some obsolete "19-19"s still in the website files until after the 19-25 Chief Judge position has been made official and document updates can be completed; eventually they should all become "19-25"s.
This page describes work with the North Carolina Wake County Board of Elections (aka the WCBOE or just the BOE). The page mainly has reference material about Precinct 19-25 and its polling place. Included is information about preparing for and then conducting elections. Finally, there is historical information about elections at Precinct 19-19 and other precincts where I had worked previously.

The Precinct 19-25 polling place is Sanford Creek Elementary
School (SCES).
The school is located (high on a hill) at 701 Granite Falls Blvd. in Rolesville.
The date before each document listed below is the date when that document was last changed.
The last-changed dates are color-coded to highlight the most recently changed documents.
Due to publishing deadlines, a number of the following comments did not get included in the final 2015 precinct official documents, but will be considered for the 2016 revisions.
Below are some Reference items related to my past work. They are not applicable to my current polling place, but still might be of use to Precinct Officials at other polling places.
For a few of the older files, the file modification date mm/dd/yy may appear to be much more recent than the dates for nearby files. The dates shown do actually show the last-changed date for those old HTML files, e.g., 3/18/11 and 8/30/15. For those files on those dates I had made some minor HTML/CSS changes to bring the source code syntax in line with the latest XHTML standard, "XHTML1-Strict". This did not change the content as displayed by a browser, just removed some error messages you would see if you did a syntax check with a validator tool.
