DeKalb County election officials commend poll workers and address voting location issues

DeKalb County's Board of Registration and Elections meeting on June 23, 2025, highlighted the successful management of recent elections and addressed challenges faced by voters. Attendees expressed gratitude for the smooth execution of the elections, with one participant noting that the process was well-run and free from fraud.

Cheryl Dudley, a local resident and voter activist, acknowledged the efficiency of the recent primary elections but pointed out a communication gap regarding a candidate's removal from the ballot. She emphasized the importance of informing voters about changes, especially as the county prepares for the upcoming election on July 15, which will impact public service commission decisions affecting power bills.

Dudley also raised concerns about voter awareness, particularly during the summer months when many residents are on vacation. She urged the board to ensure that voters are well-informed about polling locations, especially after reports of missing signage at some sites.

Michael Beach, an Assistant Poll Manager, echoed the sentiments of appreciation for the election officials, recognizing their dedication and hard work in managing the electoral process.

The meeting underscored the importance of clear communication and voter education as DeKalb County gears up for future elections, ensuring that all residents are aware of their voting rights and responsibilities.
