Augusta: Pyles suggests staggering board elections

Staggered elections are nothing new in Staunton, Waynesboro, Rockbridge County, and Shenandoah County.

At Wednesday's Augusta County Board of Supervisors meeting, Pastures District Supervisor Tracy Pyles broached the idea of changing to staggered elections in the county.

Noting that many localities already have such a voting policy in place, Supervisor Pyles said it would be a better way to weigh the mood of the people who currently have to wait four years for elections. Under his proposal, supervisors would be voted every two years with three up for election and then four up for election two years later.

Bob Stuart at the Waynesboro News Virginian has the details.
