Hall weighing changes to elections office
0419Elections3
The Hall County elections office on the bottom floor of the county's Browns Bridge Road headquarters, pictured on Tuesday, has gone five months without a director. County officials say they're evaluating the staffing of the office before hiring a new director to replace Charlotte Sosebee, who left in November 2016.
Now five months without an elections director, Hall County is using the break between elections to decide whether to restructure its elections office before hiring a replacement for Charlotte Sosebee. After a “heavy election season” at the local, state and national levels last year — all of which have elections coordinated by the office’s director — the county is using the current lull to re-evaluate the office serving Hall County and most of its cities, said Hall County Administrator Randy Knighton. While that’s ongoing, the search for a new elections director has been put on hold, according to Knighton, while county officials decide whether one of the positions in the office is changed or eliminated.
