ATLANTA - Certification of election results in Georgia is a mandatory duty of local elections officials - not a discretionary decision - the state Court of Appeals has ruled.

Georgia election officials are trying to find inaccurate voter registrations of people registered at P.O. boxes or business addresses.

A Georgia appeals court has upheld a ruling requiring county election officials to certify results by legal deadlines.

In Clayton County, drop box locations include the Election & Registration Main Office, South Clayton Recreation Center, and Carl Rhodenizer Recreation Center. See below for hours and voting polling locations. Monday, July 7-Friday, July 11 from 8 a.m. until 7 p.m.

The Georgia Court of Appeals upheld a lower court's ruling that local election board members must certify election results by the deadline outlined in state law, rejecting the argument that they could refuse to certify results if they believed they were inaccurate.

The Georgia Court of Appeals ruled that election board members are required to certify election results even when they have concerns about fraud or errors.

While local elections officials are empowered to request and review documents and share concern, they cannot refuse to certify election results, judge says.

The polls are open and Georgians can now cast their votes in the Public Service Commission Special Primary Runoff.
