The Fulton County elections board will meet Thursday at 10 a.m. online, and a lot has happened since they last met.
The board has a new chair in Atlanta City Councilman Alex Wan after former chair Mary Carole Cooney resigned due to a prolonged illness. And the last time the board met, they fired elections director Richard Barron only for his job to be saved by the Fulton County Commission on March 3.
The elections board voted 3-2 to fire Barron on Feb. 16 at hastily scheduled meeting after the board days earlier made a closed-door vote to fire Barron in an apparent violation of Georgia’s open meetings law.
Cooney was one of the votes to save Barron. Wan has not spoken publicly about his appointment or all the work facing him as leader of the elections board in Georgia’s most populated county.
The agenda, uploaded online Wednesday afternoon, includes a monthly operations report from Barron and a “post-election assessment review.”
The meeting can be viewed on YouTube or FGTV.
