Elections Board considers extending hours of early voting in Athens

A special called meeting of the Athens-Clarke County Board of Elections is set for 4:30 this afternoon: the Board will consider expanding the hours for early voting in Athens, which continues through November 4. We are today 13 days away from the November 8 election day.

Georgia has crossed the one million mark in the number of votes cast in advance of the November 8 elections: early voting continues this week in Athens at the Elections Office on Washington Street and in Oconee County at the Civic Center in Watkinsville.

The group that unsuccessfully challenged March 21 of next year as the date for a special election in Athens-Clarke County Commission District 2 is waiting for a ruling from the state Board of Elections: Chnayse Allen is president of Inner East Athens. She says there has been collusion among the Mayor and two Commissioners since the August resignation of former Commissioner Mariah Parker.
