Fulton County Board of Registration & Elections Meeting May 14, 2026

The Fulton County Board of Registration & Elections held a meeting on May 14, 2026, primarily focused on election operations and policies. Key procurement-related discussions included the review of a pilot program for daily absentee ballot pickup and secure transport, which involved a one-time purchase of ballot bags costing under $5,000. The board debated the continuation of this pilot program, ultimately voting to discontinue it due to low usage and concerns about staff safety amid public scrutiny and intimidation. Additionally, the board discussed updates to voter registration statistics, early voting locations, and the scheduling of upcoming challenge hearings and certification meetings. They also reviewed and voted on amendments to the public comment policy, including adjustments to speaker sign-up times and clarifications on disruptive behavior definitions. No new contracts or vendor selections were reported, but the meeting addressed operational expenditures and policy decisions impacting election logistics and staff safety.
