A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was sent to the Twiggs County Election Department on October 29, 2024. The request, issued by Peach Tree Times, a media organization committed to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, sought specific information about the methods used for counting votes in the upcoming elections.
The FOIA request specifically asked for a list of methods employed by the election department to count votes. If manual counting is being used, the department was also asked to provide an estimated number of people who will be working on election night.
