ATLANTA — While folks flipped burgers and forgot to reapply sunscreen on Memorial Day, Fulton County’s elections board certified the results of last week’s primary election.
A bipartisan trio of elections board members met in person Monday and unanimously sent the results of the polls to the state. The certified numbers show that 186,374 out of Fulton’s 737,975 active registered voters cast ballots in the primary, amounting to a 25% turnout. The turnout in the 2018 primary was 19%.
“We believe we had a successful election,” Nadine Williams, Fulton’s interim elections director, said Monday.
