The Office of Cherokee County Elections and Voter Registration was honored earlier this month with prestigious award from the Georgia Secretary of State’s office.

“This is the very first year that this award has been given out,” said Cherokee County Elections and Voter Registration Director Anne Dover. “This award was earned due to the tremendous work done, each and every election cycle, by our amazing staff.”

The Office of Cherokee County Election and Voter Registration received the 2023 Foundation Builders Award in front of 300 of their counterparts on Wednesday, Jan. 4 while attending the Georgia Registered Voter Information System (GARVIS) conference in Athens, Ga.

“Elections are the bedrock of any functioning republic,” said Georgia State Elections Director Blake Evans. “It is essential that all counties have a solid foundation of knowledge and leadership. The Foundation Builders Award recognizes the county that is dedicated to getting the little things right. They believe that no detail is too small and that successful elections are conducted on a basis of transparency and hard work.”
