Board unanimously certifies July 15 Special Primary runoff results
Summary
After an administrative report, the Cobb County Board of Elections certified the Special Primary runoff results from 07/15/2025 by unanimous vote and scheduled a risk-limiting audit.
The Cobb County Board of Elections unanimously certified the results of the Special Primary runoff held July 15, 2025, after a director’s report on turnout, provisional ballots and reconciliation with Jarvis.
Director Fall reported 10,190 total ballots cast in the election: 7,633 on Election Day, 2,413 advanced in-person votes, 116 absentee-by-mail (ABM) ballots, and 28 provisionals (28 of 30 provisionals were counted). The office reconciled its internal check-in reports with Jarvis; small differences were attributed to a supplemental advanced-voting record and an unintended canceled check-in on Election Day that were corrected in Jarvis credit reports.
The board moved to certify the Special Primary Election runoff results (07/15/2025). The motion to certify was moved and seconded and passed unanimously.
Director Fall also announced the board’s risk-limiting audit (RLA) schedule: the RLA was set to begin Thursday at 9 a.m. at the main office, with eight teams and designated party observers for a Democratic runoff; the RLA remained open to public observation.
The board approved the certification unanimously and directed staff to deliver the standard post-election evidence packet to the Georgia Secretary of State, as required.
Clarifying details: the director confirmed that the ePulse numbers omit ABM and provisional records (hence some small numeric differences) and that the office had sent Jarvis credit reports to reconcile counts.
