Held Atlanta proposal seeks officers at recreation-center polling places

A held Atlanta proposal asks the Fulton and DeKalb county election boards to provide Georgia POST-certified law-enforcement officers at every city recreation center designated as a polling place. Resolution 26-R-3532 covers advance voting, election days and runoff voting, but excludes elections that are solely Atlanta special or general elections.

The request appears among held papers on the Committee on Council’s Oct. 5 agenda, with the meeting scheduled for 11:30 a.m. The agenda records a May 18 committee hold; its listing does not establish approval of the request or deployment of officers.
