Fulton County to certify midterm election results Monday at 3 p.m.

The Fulton County Board of Registration and Elections is scheduled to meet Monday at 3 p.m. to certify the results of the recent midterm elections, Atlanta News First reported.

Last week, Democrats won key statewide offices in Georgia, including the gubernatorial race, with Keisha Lance Bottoms set to become the first Black woman governor in U.S. history. Democrats also gained a majority in the Georgia House of Representatives for the first time since 2004, while Republicans maintain a slim Senate majority.

Certification of elections in Fulton County has been contentious following former President Trump's 2021 phone call to Georgia's Secretary of State, which included requests to "find votes" amid unfounded claims of ballot irregularities in Fulton County. These allegations have been debunked.

In 2024, a Georgia Superior Court judge ruled that election certification is mandatory for election superintendents, rejecting a lawsuit from a Fulton County elections board member who sought to withhold certification if results appeared unreliable.

Additionally, the FBI conducted a raid on the Fulton County elections hub in January as part of a federal investigation into possible election law violations related to the 2020 presidential election.
