A plan to move the Washington County Election Commissionâs offices to the George P. Jaynes Justice Center is fueling a disagreement between election officials and county government leaders.
Members of the countyâs Budget Committee said last week they are weighing the remodeling costs and expediency of moving election offices from the third floor of the Washington County Courthouse to the justice center in time for the May 3 primaries.
Elections Administrator Dana Jones said she, too, is concerned with moving into the new space before the countyâs busy 2022 election season begins. Even so, Jones said she has serious concerns with how the county plans to remodel the space.
