Cobb Names Interim Elections Director

MARIETTA, GA — Gerry Miller, a veteran of Cobb County's election office, is coming out of retirement to serve as the interim director of Cobb County’s Board of Elections and Registration, county officials said Tuesday night in a news release.

His appointment by the board Monday comes after Janine Eveler retired in January. Eveler was with the county for 18 years, 12 of which she spent as the elections board supervisor.

Prior to retirement, Miller was the election office's preparation center director for 11 years. In his 20 years of working with elections, Miller has served as a supervisor and manager in Henry and Fulton counties.

“We are grateful that Gerry has agreed to come out of retirement to help lead our elections team,” Board of Elections and Registration Chair Tori Silas said in the release. “We believe he will provide steady leadership while we work to expand our search for a new elections director.”

A national search will take place to find a permanent elections director, county officials said.
