About the Board of Elections and Registration
The Board of Elections is responsible for conducting fair and impartial elections. Elections and registration are
conducted in accordance with the Georgia Election code, State Election Board Rules, Federal and Local Laws.
The Evans County Board of Commissioners appoints an Election Director who is responsible for conducting
fair and impartial elections and registering local residents to vote. Elections and registration are conducted in
accordance with the Georgia Election code, U.S. Justice Department Regulations, State Election Board Rules,

The Board of Elections consists of three members appointed by the Evans County Board of Commissioners.
The Board registers eligible voters and maintains all records of registered voters pertaining to their designated
