Bulloch County would set five seats on its elections board

The board has five members, all appointed by Bulloch County's governing authority. Each member must be an elector and resident of Bulloch County. This provision takes effect January 1, 2027, for purposes other than appointing the additional members.

The county appoints two members after considering party committee nomination lists. One seat follows a list from the party whose candidate received the most votes statewide in the last regular governor's election; the other follows a list from the party whose candidate came second. Each party committee may submit up to five nominees. The county need not consider a list unless it arrives at least 90 days before the member takes office, except for a vacancy during an unexpired term. The county may decide that none of the nominees is suitable and is not required to appoint anyone from the list. The additional members may be appointed starting July 1, 2026; other purposes take effect January 1, 2027.

The county appoints three members without party committee nomination lists and follows set terms for all five seats. These rules cover the three seats appointed without party lists and the two seats appointed after considering party lists. The three members serving on January 1, 2027, continue through their unexpired terms; if one cannot, the county appoints a successor for the remainder. The two party-list seats begin with one-year terms, then use four-year terms. The other three seats use four-year terms after the current members' terms end. The three current members' terms continue past January 1, 2027, if they have time left. The two party-list seats' first terms run from January 1 through December 31, 2027.
