ATLANTA — A performance review of Fulton County elections operations recommended against a state takeover Friday, finding that the county has made “significant improvement” since the 2020 election year.
“Replacing the board would not be helpful and would in fact hinder the ongoing improvements to Fulton County elections,” according to the 19-page report by a three-person panel appointed by the State Election Board.
The review of elections operations in Fulton, the most populated county in the state, arose from a provision in Georgia’s 2021 voting law that allowed troubled local election boards to be replaced after an investigation.
