The Cleveland County Election Board has begun moving out of its downtown Norman offices and should open at its new digs, 614 E. Robinson St., today, a CCEB spokeswoman said Monday.
Anette Pretty, assistant executive secretary of CCEB, said the board has been at its current location, 122 S. Peters Ave., since 2004.
Pretty said this move shouldn't be an issue for the CCEB staff, whose next election (on two proposed school bonds) falls on Dec. 8.
"We're seamless," Pretty said. "We'll be fine."
Right now, the CCEB is sharing the building with a bank and the Cleveland County Sheriff's Department.
Who exactly will fill the prime downtown office space the CCEB is vacating is still up in the air.
"With the Vista Building outcome not known at this point, downtown office space is still pretty slim right now," County Commissioner Rod Cleveland, District 1. "We're going to see what kind of interest is out there."
Cleveland said the CCEB is moving into a space that used to house the county health department. He said the CCEB's current office space also used to be occupied by the treasurer's department.
