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.
Missing voter card? 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, the BOE Staff, 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 19-24 Voters" or "Information Mainly for Precinct 19-25 Voters" for details about checking and updating your voter registration data. Just keep it up-to-date.
Website changes being made 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" (19-19.htm) web page. For this election cycle, the Board of Elections has appointed me to be the Chief Judge for the new Hope Lutheran Church polling place, serving Precinct 19-24. The future focus of this website will be on Precinct 19-24 and its new polling place. There will also be a new "Information Mainly for Precinct 19-24 Voters" web page, an update to the 19-19.htm version.
For information about some old Precinct 19-19 files, which have been partially updated for Precinct 19-25, see 19-19 archive.
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 19-24 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 19-24 polling place is Hope Lutheran Church.
The church is located at 3525 Rogers Road in Wake Forest.
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.
To help the new Chief Judge for Precinct 19-25, for now some old Precinct 19-19 files will be saved on this website. These are files that were related to local aspects of 19-19 when I was Chief Judge there, e.g., maps, SCES parking diagrams, and room layouts. After the precinct division I converted some of the 19-19 files, e.g., maps, to reflect the new 19-25 precinct. There is also an "Information Mainly for Precinct 19-25 Voters". It is the previous 19-19.htm with just a few 19-25 updates, mainly those I made before I was formally reassigned to 19-24.
All this archived material just records how things were at the time I was reassigned to start the new 19-24 polling place. It is not necessarily how things will be in Precinct 19-25 for the 11/4/25 election or thereafter.
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.
