Georgia's elections for the first time in more than a decade will be entirely overseen by the Secretary of State's Office, a decision that will end the role of the state's longtime elections center at Kennesaw State University.
The move comes as the center has weathered a storm of criticism over security lapses that exposed more than 6.5 million voter records and other sensitive information.
State officials told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution on Friday that the transition is expected to take up to a year, with the university's Center for Election Systems in the meantime continuing to help maintain the state's voting infrastructure and work with local officials in preparation for upcoming elections.
