Tate Fall, who was hired less than two years ago to run the the Cobb Board of Elections and Registration, will be leaving her post.
Cobb government announced last week that she will be departing near the end of the year, after her leave period expires.
Fall has been on an unspecified leave for the last few months. Michael D’Itri, a deputy director in the elections office, has been named the acting director.
A former deputy elections director in Arlington County, Va., Fall started her tenure to succeed Janine Eveler in Cobb County in December 2023.
Fall was chosen after a search for Eveler’s successor was extended because a lack of qualified candidates.
At the time, then-Elections Board Chairwoman Tori Silas said that “it was difficult to find someone with the level of experience needed along with the zeal for this job. We believe we have found the right person at the right time.”
In Fall’s time in Cobb, the five-member appointed board has been embroiled in a number of disputes, including county commission redistricting.
Last month, the board sparred over electing officers following the appointments of two new members. Fall was absent at that meeting, at which the extension of her leave was announced.
No timetable was mentioned for hiring her successor, which will be chosen by the elections board.
