In a recent government meeting, officials unanimously approved the acceptance of two absentee ballots that were submitted through tax commissioner's drop boxes. The ballots, one dropped on October 25 at the East Cobb Government Center and the other on October 29 at the main tax commissioner's office, were accepted despite previous confusion regarding the drop-off locations.

During the discussion, it was noted that large signs had been placed at the old election office location to inform voters that it was no longer a valid drop-off site. Officials emphasized that the acceptance of these ballots aligns with longstanding practices, despite challenges in communication regarding ballot submissions.

The meeting also addressed the issue of \"naked ballots,\" which are ballots returned without the required oath envelope. Officials clarified that such ballots cannot be counted, but they expressed confidence that the nine ballots under consideration included the necessary envelopes to validate their submission.

The meeting concluded with a motion to accept the ballots passing unanimously, reflecting a commitment to ensuring that all valid votes are counted while maintaining the integrity of the election process.
