Fulton County elections will remain local after the State Election Board rejected a takeover. What this means for Atlanta voters.
Fulton County will maintain local control over its elections after the State Election Board voted against a motion to seize the county's election operations. The decision, which follows a January 2023 raid on the county's election warehouse, leaves open the possibility of intervention in the future. For over one million voters in the Atlanta metro area, including Fulton and DeKalb counties, this *likely* means no immediate changes to voter registration, polling sites, or absentee services.
