The Vance County Board of Elections has selected Haley Rawles to become its new director. Rawles, former deputy director in Granville County, started her new job today, Thursday, Apr. 4.
“I’m super excited to be here in Vance,” Rawles told WIZS News earlier today in a telephone interview.
In a recent interview, Board Chair James Baines said the county had made its selection, but was awaiting final approval from Raleigh to begin the transition.
Former director Jennifer Cocklin will stay on another week, Rawles said.
Once they get that approval, the candidate can go before Clerk of Superior Court Henry Gupton and take the oath of office. Rawles said she expects to be sworn in next week.
“We plan to do our best for the citizens of Vance County,” Baines said.
