CLEVELAND, Ga. — White County is in the market for a new Supervisor of Elections and Registration following the departure of Jody Davis, who has served in that capacity since August 2022.

When contacted, White County Manager Billy Pittard said, “It’s a personnel matter and we normally do not discuss those matters.”

Pittard said the county is in good shape for the upcoming Helen runoff election on December 5th. Chief Voter Registrar Derek LaPerriere will serve as interim until a new supervisor is named.

According to a published report, there was some disagreement between Davis and County Manager Pittard, primarily in connection with improvements made at the Town Creek Polling location.

Pittard said the county will work to find a replacement for Davis and should be ready for the upcoming election cycle next year.
