Forsyth County Elections Board Calls Special Meeting Ahead of May Primary

The Forsyth County Board of Voter Registrations and Elections convened a special called meeting on March 30, acting on a public notice posted just three days earlier on March 27, as the county enters its final administrative stretch before the May 19 General Primary and Nonpartisan Election.

The three-day window between public notice and meeting reflects the accelerating pace of pre-primary election administration. Special called sessions at this stage of the election calendar can address polling-place assignments, precinct boundary changes, absentee ballot procedures, early voting logistics, or emergency staffing decisions. Any outcomes from the March 30 session carry direct consequences for where and how Forsyth County's registered voters cast their ballots in May.

The board posted its notice on the county's official website and directed residents to the Voter Registrations and Elections office at 110 East Main Street for additional information. The notice included procedures for public comment under Georgia law and listed contact information for the Title VI Coordinator, who handles language access and accommodation requests. Residents who are deaf or hard of hearing can access elections services and meeting information through the Georgia Relay Service.

With 47 days now separating voters from the May 19 ballot, registered voters should verify their polling-place assignment and current registration status through the elections office, particularly if any precinct changes were adopted at or following the March 30 meeting. The county's Voter Registrations and Elections webpage carries the current election calendar, sample ballots, and absentee ballot instructions. Early voting schedules, absentee ballot applications, and poll-worker sign-up information are available through the same office at 110 East Main Street.

The May 19 election is the first major countywide vote of 2026, and the administrative decisions made in these pre-primary sessions will determine the precise contours of that vote for every registered voter in Forsyth County.
