The Orange County Board of Elections announced last week that Tracy Reams, elections director for Nash County, has accepted the position of elections director for Orange County.
Reams will start in late January to prepare for the 2008 elections. She replaces Barry Garner, who left after the November elections to serve as deputy director of elections in Miami-Dade County, Florida.
Since 1984, Reams has worked for Nash County, where she became elections director in 1998.
