Summary

The Athens‑Clarke County Board of Elections & Voter Registration on May 19 approved an advance voting schedule for the June 16 runoff and amended the plan to add the Athens‑Clarke County (ACC) Tennis Center as an additional polling location. The board approved the amended schedule unanimously during its regular meeting at 2555 Lexington Road.
Pam Long, Elections Director, presented the proposed advance voting window: Monday, June 8 through Friday, June 12 at the ACC Elections Office and ACC Library, with regular hours of 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and extended hours until 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday, June 10. On a motion by board member Willa Fambrough, seconded by Chair Rocky Raffle, the board approved the schedule as amended to include the ACC Tennis Center.
The board’s action was procedural: members voted to adopt the schedule and specify polling locations. The meeting minutes record that the motion to approve the amended schedule passed unanimously. The board also listed ancillary logistics and meeting dates tied to the runoff: an Election Pre‑Certification meeting at 3:00 p.m. on Friday, May 22 and an Election Certification meeting at 5:30 p.m. on Friday, May 22. The board’s next regularly scheduled meeting was set for Runoff Election Day, Tuesday, June 16, at 4:30 p.m., all at 2555 Lexington Road.
Practical details for voters were reiterated: absentee ballot applications are accepted through Friday, June 5; voters who received an absentee ballot in May and opted to receive ballots for the remainder of the year do not need to reapply, while voters who did not vote in May or voted in person must submit an application by the June 5 deadline.
Votes at a glance: The minutes record the meeting’s routine procedural votes, each passing unanimously: the motion to strike the Executive Session from the agenda, approval of the amended agenda, approval of the March 10 minutes, approval of the advance voting schedule with the ACC Tennis Center added, and the motion to adjourn. The board did not record any dissenting votes in the published minutes.
The board did not discuss detailed site‑by‑site staffing plans or parking/ADA access in the minutes; those operational details were not specified.
