Confusion about the runoff elections and the two separate dates has left many wondering how, when and where they can vote in Athens-Clarke County.

In its initial certified election results, the Athens-Clarke County Board of Elections did not count 119 ballots that it determined were cast legally. The ballots were discovered while preparing for a statewide audit and recount of the presidential election results that begins Friday, said elections director Charlotte Sosebee.

The Georgia Secretary of State Office’s Voting System Implementation Manager Gabriel Sterling held a short press conference regarding the 2020 general election Thursday morning, providing an update on the state’s efforts to get the remainder of its ballots counted.

As of Tuesday, 32,041 of Athens-Clarke County’s 76,800 registered voters — or about 42% — have already cast their ballots for the Nov. 3 election.

As the second week of early voting continues in Georgia, the state has seen a record number of voters at the polls.

The Georgia Secretary of State’s Office distributed mail-in ballots to 11,911 voters in Athens-Clarke County and 4,119 voters in Oconee County that listed Interim District Attorney Brian Patterson as the incumbent district attorney.  

In the June primaries, 141 mail-in ballots were rejected in Athens-Clarke County. Though that’s a small portion of the 16,328 ballots that were returned — less than 1% — the ideal number of rejected ballots would be zero.
