The White County Elections and Voter Registration board held a second public hearing Thursday to accept public input about their plans to combine the Helen and Roberstown precincts and polling places. During the hearing two people made comments.
Dwayne Turner, chairman of the board, said they were looking for ways to help protect the votes and keep the equipment safe, as well as make the voting process more efficient for the county. Turner said in November 2020 the combined in-person voting at Helen and Roberstown was 587, that’s just a little more than the next smallest voting precinct.
At the end of the hearing, Turner said, “On March 7th we will meet, we’ll have our regular meeting and have a discussion and take a vote at that time to see if we will consolidate it.”
