The Washington County Election Commission could soon be moving its offices to the George P. Jaynes Justice Center.
The County-Owned Property Committee approved a plan Thursday calling for the Election Commission to move its offices, which are currently on the third floor of the Washington County Courthouse, to nearly 2,000 square feet of space in the justice center.
The space was formerly used by the 1st Judicial District attorney generalâs office.
In addition, the committee approved the Election Commissionâs request for the county to lease event space behind the Food City in Jonesborough for early voting in next yearâs elections. The Heritage, 161 Molly Grayce Lane, would only be leased for nine weeks a year to accommodate early voting.
