The Moultrie County Board election committee met last Wednesday to address revisions to the proposal for Sullivan Township election precinct adjustments. According to County Clerk Georgia England, this transpired because they have a couple of precincts that number over 800. “The first proposal we had last month was readjusting the precincts to level out the number of voters and to eliminate one precinct to reduce the cost to the county,” she said. “More machines will be needed, and this way we wouldn’t have purchased more machines, and it would be evenly distributed giving us 100 more voters growth over the next 10-15 years.”
England continued to say that after the county board meeting in June, they returned the proposal to Bruce Harris and had him do up another few examples, readjusting so the precincts would be down to 600. She indicated that they do not want to add cost to the county. England said, knowing the growths in the precincts, it shouldn’t increase that much in the next 10,15, 20 years. In the new proposed map, the majority of the precincts at their highest are around 590.     Login or Subscribe to read the rest of this story.
