Press Release, NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Davidson County Election Administrator Kent Wall announced he will retire from his post effective March 31.
Wall came out of retirement on Nov. 4, 2013 when Davidson County
Election Commissioners appointed him administrator and charged him with
correcting serious shortcomings identified in the state report and metro
audit report of the 2012 election cycle and returning the Election
Commission to a higher standard of operational effectiveness and
competence.
“Today, two years plus into my tenure, I believe my assignment has
been accomplished, and therefore, it is time for me to relinquish the
reins of the Election Commission and return to the retired life I was
enjoying for several years prior to November 2013,” Wall said in
announcing his retirement to election commissioners.
All five commissioners praised Wall for his work.
“I’ve always known this wasn’t a second profession for Kent,”
Chairman Ron Buchanan said. “We hired Kent because of his strong
administration and business skills and charged him with pointing the
commission in a new direction. He has done that job admirably.”
Buchanan said he will call a special meeting within the next few
weeks for commissioners to discuss the procedure to appoint a new
administrator.
“In my considered opinion, the Davidson County Election Commission is
now well within the top tier of all county election commissions in the
state. And, without fear of contradiction, I will go on record and state
that I am blessed to work with a first-class group of associates who
have honed to a fine degree their competence and professionalism over
the last five elections,” Wall said.
