The Athens-Clarke County Commission unanimously passed a resolution to ensure future voter access in the county in retaliation to Georgia’s new voting law in a Tuesday night voting meeting. The resolution states that County Manager Blaine Williams will develop a plan of action with the Board of Elections to “mitigate the impact” of Senate Bill 202 on ACC residents. SB 202 passed in the Georgia General Assembly on March 25, placing new restrictions on absentee voting and allowing state officials to take over local elections boards. The resolution states that the county’s plan of action may include implementing a voter information campaign ahead of the 2022 election to make voting resources more accessible, maximizing the number of absentee ballot dropboxes and maximizing early voting locations across the county.
