Election Officials Train in Smithville

County Election Officials from across Middle Tennessee met in Smithville Friday for a training and networking session at the county complex auditorium.
DeKalb County Administrator of Elections Dennis Stanley, who serves as Vice President for the Middle Tennessee Division of Tennessee Association of County Election Officials, said the organization convenes occasionally for training. “Every so often we get together and have a training and networking session. I decided this time we would have one in DeKalb County. We had over 70 election officials from about 20 counties who attended our program Friday. We also had here from the state office, Wayne Pruett, Coordinator of the Help America Vote Act,” said Stanley.
