The Board of Elections oversees and administers all elections held in the County of Lincoln and the City of Lincolnton. The Board is responsible for the registration of new voters, up-date of voter records due to changes of address, name, party affiliation, etc. The Board must keep these records in a current and readily available condition as well as protect the safekeeping of these records. Currently Lincoln County has approximately 40,000 active and inactive voters. The Board of Elections is also responsible for checking petitions requiring signatures of registered voters, filing notices of candidacy, monitoring of certain campaign expenditures, maintaining records of past elections and individual voters' records, as well as all attendant requirements of these responsibilities.

The Director of Elections and Board Members are responsible for determining precinct lines and training all precinct workers in order to have registration available and to make registration and voting as pleasant and convenient as possible for the citizens of Lincoln County. In addition to the conduct of elections and registration of voters, the board handles filing of candidates for office, conducts hearings concerning violations of the election laws and procedures.
