Todd J. Rademacher, CZO, the Planning Director for the Town of Sunset Beach asked that we post information about the 2020 Census to our website. Here is his email:
I am writing to see if you could put something in your newsletter encouraging everyone to fill out the 2020 Census. It is so important to get an accurate account for a myriad of reasons. The link to fill out the census is
https://2020census.gov. Below is a small blurb from the census you may want to include in your newsletter. Thank you for your help.
The census provides critical data that lawmakers, business owners, teachers, and many others use to provide daily services, products, and support for you and your community. Every year, billions of dollars in federal funding go to hospitals, fire departments, schools, roads, and other resources based on census data.
The results of the census also determine the number of seats each state will have in the U.S. House of Representatives, and they are used to draw congressional and state legislative districts.
It’s also in the Constitution: Article 1, Section 2, mandates that the country conduct a count of its population once every 10 years. The 2020 Census will mark the 24th time that the country has counted its population since 1790.

2020 General Election
The 2020 Presidential General Election will be held on Tuesday November 3rd. There are three ways to cast your ballot in North Carolina:
- Absentee ballot by mail.
- One Stop in person Early Voting.
- In person on Election Day.
To be eligible to cast a ballot this year all voters must reside in Brunswick County by Sunday October 4th, and be registered to vote by Friday October 9th. If you have not previously voted in Brunswick County and have submitted a voter registration form through DMV or another governmental agency it is recommended that you verify your registration using the Voter Registration Tool at the Board of Elections web site, https://www.brunswickcountync.gov/elections/2020general/ .
To request an Absentee Ballot by mail each voter must submit a Ballot Request form to the Board of Elections. North Carolina will NOT be doing mass ballot mailings to all voters. You may request an Absentee Ballot at any time for any reason. Ballots will begin to be distributed in early September.
In person One Stop Early voting will begin on Thursday October 15th, and run through Saturday October 31st.
The Early Voting schedule and locations will be finalized at a special Board of Elections meeting on Tuesday July 14th at 6:00 pm in the County Commissioners’ chamber. Should anyone wish to make a comment about Early Voting, the Board has established a Comment portal at: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeJjecIFxt1kqyrB75Eycp71NuzcFIC83BPFDh0i8319WZzkw/viewform.
On Election Day November 3rd the polls will open at 6:30am and close at 7:30pm. All forms, tools, and additional detailed information are available at the Brunswick County Board of Elections website: https://www.brunswickcountync.gov/elections/2020general/ If you have any questions you may call the Board of Elections at (910) 523-2620.
Board of Elections Poll Worker Opportunities
On a regular day-to-day basis the Brunswick County Board of Elections staff consists of 5 full time employees who manage and maintain the elections process for the 105,000+ voters in the county. At election time however the staff can grow to 300-350 with the addition of temporary help and poll workers. As you have observed many of the Poll Workers are seniors who have the time to contribute to the community. As with any group of this type there is turnover and the need to recruit new personnel.
Being a Poll Worker can be a rewarding experience, and besides it pays $10-$13 per hour based on the experience and the type of assignment. If you think you would like to participate, the link contains information from the poll worker team at the Board. You can register for both an in-person or on-line session by clicking https://www.brunswickcountync.gov/elections/precinct-officials/
If you have any questions please feel free to give me a call or contact Adrianne Rushton, Assistant Deputy Director Brunswick County Board of Elections, adrianne.rushton@brunswickcountync.gov.

Hi Everyone:
The Town of Sunset Beach would like you to remember that during this pandemic you can help to protect yourself while also protecting our community. Remember your 3 Ws:
- WEAR a cloth face covering.
- WAIT 6 feet apart and avoid close contact.
- WASH your hands often or use hand sanitizer.
It is important to take care of yourself and to be respectful and take care of other.
We are also encouraging our local businesses to support the use of masks by their employees and their customers.
Supplies in the region are very limited. Food, cleaning supplies, and toiletries are not always readily available. When shopping for essentials in the area, we ask that you please leave some for the next person.
We encourage you to bring your own supplies when visiting the area. We especially encourage you to bring your own toiletries as we cannot guarantee availability in restrooms.
Please, continue to use caution when interacting with people or going out into the public. Take care of yourself, by taking care of others.
Thank you.

Just a reminder to complete the 2020 Census questionnaire if you haven’t done so already. The census data is important to our community. The information collected in the 2020 Census helps determine how federal dollars flow into our Town each year for the next decade. That funding shapes many different aspects of our community, and helps to keep your tax rate lower. Click here to see how Sunset Beach is doing and for a link to the questionnaire.
Thanks,
