Elections staff reported to the Fulton County Board of Registration and Elections on Nov. 4 that election day proceeded successfully overall, with minor equipment issues that did not affect the systemic integrity of results.

Staff said in-person advanced voting exceeded 105,000 and that election-day voting had surpassed advanced voting, with totals reported as over 108,000 at the time of the update. For the Senate District 35 special election, staff said roughly 2,989 voters participated in advanced voting for that race.

"We had overall successful election day," elections staff said, adding there were "some minor hiccups with election equipment, but nothing systemic." Staff told the board that because the City of Atlanta ballots and Fulton County advanced-and-mail ballots are scanned on the same equipment, the county would begin posting consolidated results promptly at 8:00 p.m.

Board members said they visited precincts and observed that locations handling both the SD-35 contest and the day's other elections operated smoothly; several members publicly complimented poll workers and elections staff. Members also requested follow-up on communications protocols for voters and precinct changes; staff said they would circulate follow-up emails and copy the board.

The board adjourned and will meet again Friday, Nov. 7 at 11:00 a.m.
