As Chattooga County prepares to hold a vote on the Special Local Option Sales Tax later this year, the newly formed Chattooga County Board of Elections will hold their first meeting coming up next week.

Chattooga County Commissioner Andy Allen appointed Brandon Gurley, Alfred McDaniel, John Agnew, Patricia Brison, and Gartrelle Davidson. The board consists of two Democrats, two Republicans, and one member “at-large”.

The inaugural meeting of the Chattooga County Board of Elections and Registration is scheduled for January 21 at 5 PM. Residents are welcome to attend the meeting, which will take place at the Chattooga County Registrar’s Office, located at 10017 Commerce Street in Summerville, right next to the courthouse.
