Certification
The board voted unanimously to certify the June 18 run-off election.
After the vote, S. Kelehear said that with only a little over one percent of eligible voters participating, this was a costly election. He also said Georgia is one of few states requiring a “50 plus 1” tally for office holders. Without it, the process would be shorter and the county would save money.

Staff member Heath Frazier reported there will be a Risk Limiting Audit on the election for the federal office, on June 26.
