Fulton County reports more than 15,000 election-day voters, few issues in PSC special primary runoff

Fulton County Board of Registration and Elections members on July 15 received a recap of the special primary runoff for the Georgia Public Service Commission and approved their meeting agenda and adjournment by voice votes after hearing turnout totals from elections staff.

Director Williams, delivering the report to the board, said, "It was a quiet election day for the advanced voting portion of this election. We had 4 a b locations. They reported over 4,000 voters at at all 4 combined. Absentee by mail was roughly around 67." Williams added, "And election day from the last totals I received, we reached over 15,000 at all 138 locations combined. We had little to no issues reported and nothing else to report."

The board discussed outstanding mail‑in ballots and precinct‑level reporting. Board member Will Adams asked whether officials had "gotten the last run from the mail for mail in ballot," and Williams replied that staff were still collecting dropped-off ballots and that the last count he had seen for absentee-by-mail was about 67 combined. Williams said staff would pick up ballots until 7:00 p.m. from collection locations and that the office would provide a cleaned, precinct-by-method list of votes "just like we had that available for the past 2 elections" (November 2024 and June 2025), with the board to receive the cleaned version by Friday.

A board member moved to approve the meeting agenda and another board member seconded; the chair called for the ayes and said the agenda was approved. At the end of the meeting a board member moved to adjourn, a different board member seconded, and the chair called the ayes and adjourned the meeting.
