ATLANTA — It’s been one week since the 2024 presidential election and it’s now time for Georgia’s counties to certify the results and send them to the Secretary of State’s Office.
Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger is expected to hold a morning briefing ahead of the certification deadline, which will be at the close of business on Tuesday at 5 p.m.
Raffensperger and members of the Elections Division of the Sec. of State’s Office will speak together, going over the process for how elections went in Georgia this year.
