Oglethorpe County elections board completes certification of July 15 Democratic special runoff

The Oglethorpe County Board of Elections and Registration certified the results of the July 15, 2025 Democratic special election runoff at its July 18 meeting. The certification was recorded in the meeting minutes as "completed," and no vote tally or specific mover was recorded in the transcript.

The certification was listed under New Business; the transcript does not attribute the announcement to a named speaker. There was no public input recorded on the item. The board’s meeting attendance list included Chair Beverly Nation, George Gray, Secretary Carla D. Houston, Marilyn Huff-Waller and staff member Steve McCannon.

The board set its next meeting for Aug. 4, 2025, at 9:00 a.m. The minutes also show a prior procedural motion to accept the minutes as read had been made and seconded earlier in the session, though the transcript does not record a formal roll-call vote on that motion.
