BRE sets May 19 challenge hearing for 3 p.m., moves pre-certification and certification dates for runoff
Summary
The Board set May 19 challenge hearings to begin at 3:00 p.m., moved pre-certification to Monday June 22 at 11:00 a.m., and set certification for Tuesday June 23 at 3:00 p.m.; the July regular meeting was moved from July 9 to July 16 at 11:00 a.m.
The Fulton County Board of Registration and Elections amended its 2026 meeting calendar and set times for runoff-related proceedings.
For May 19 (election day), staff reported about 8,000 challenged voters and said challenge hearings would begin at 3:00 p.m. to match the time indicated in challenge letters; the board said it needs a quorum for those hearings. Because June 19 falls on Juneteenth (a state/federal holiday), the pre-certification meeting was moved to Monday, June 22 at 11:00 a.m., and certification was scheduled for Tuesday June 23 at 3:00 p.m., per staff and counsel explanations about SEB rules and state election-code deadlines.
The board also agreed to reschedule the July regular meeting from July 9 to July 16 at 11:00 a.m. to accommodate member travel schedules. The board approved the amended schedule by unanimous voice vote.
