Board Chairman Barbara Luth read a resolution of appreciation to Secretary Randy Ingram for his years of service on the Forsyth County Board of Voter Registrations and Elections.

Several people who spoke during the public comment period recommended that voting hours be extended and that voting take place on every Saturday and Sunday throughout the advance voting period.

Vice Chairman Joel Natt asked Director Mandy Smith to bring a staff recommendation on Sunday voting to the Feb. 11 meeting.

Brandon Smith said only 16 of Georgia’s 159 counties offer Sunday voting and he called on Forsyth County and all counties to offer at least one Sunday voting opportunity. He added that Hall and Cherokee officials have agreed to add at least one Sunday to their advance voting schedule.

Gary Landon said he does not like the idea of Sunday voting. “I rise in opposition to Sunday voting,” he said. “I know this won’t be a popular idea but my position would be to go back to one day of voting the way we used to have it. It would be a national holiday.”
