The Washington County Election Commission has decided to remain on the third floor of the Washington County Courthouse. Election commissioners voted unanimously Friday to ask county commissioners to designate funds that would have gone to remodel office space in George P. Jaynes Justice Center to instead be used to pay for specific security upgrades to their current location in the historic downtown Jonesborough courthouse. âI just want the public to know that regardless of where we are, our staff will conduct a fair and open election,â Election Commission Chairman Gary McAllister said following the vote. Election Commissioner C. B. Kinch made the motion to remain in the courthouse, which he said is a temporary solution to their office needs.
