Hickman County Election Commission appoints Brittany Duke new elections administrator
The Hickman County Election Commission has named Brittany Duke the new county administrator of elections after a 3-2 vote Tuesday night following a round of interviews.
“I am so thankful and appreciate this opportunity I’ve been entrusted with,” Duke said, following the announcement Tuesday night. Duke added, “I want to assure voters that I intend to honor this decision by running the office with integrity and transparency going forward. People should feel comfortable to come vote, and they will have that now.”
Duke took on the role of interim administrator of elections following the resignation of Martie Davis last fall. That resulted in Duke conducting elections office business for the November early voting period and the December Special Election Day.
The Election Commission narrowed their search for the administrator from 10 applicants to a list of the top three candidates last week, foregoing an earlier decision to discuss candidate applicants by a numbered system. The top three were Brittany Duke, Charlene Hunt and Mark Totty. The interviews with the top three, which were open to the public, took place Tuesday.
