Cobb County Board of Elections Recesses Meeting After Sharing Initial Voting Results

The Cobb County Board of Elections and Registration convened on July 15, 2025, to discuss the progress of the election day and to prepare for the announcement of results. The meeting, which began at 7:02 PM, was marked by a pledge of allegiance and the approval of the agenda without any revisions.

Director Paul provided an update on the day's voting activities, reporting that all precincts opened on time. As of 7:04 PM, the board was tracking 7,627 voters, with a total of 2,529 absentee ballots combined from both absentee in-person (AIP) and absentee by mail (ABM) voters. This brought the total voter count to 10,156, a number expected to rise as final data was processed.

Director Paul noted that there were no significant issues reported at polling places, which was a positive sign for the election process. The meeting included a brief question-and-answer session, but no further comments were made by board members.

The board decided to recess the meeting until the election results were complete, with a motion to do so passing unanimously. The next meeting is scheduled for the following Monday, where the certification of the election results will take place.
