The Forsyth County Board of Elections has a new leader. Tim Tsujii will take over as the county's elections director at the end of February, pending state approval.
Tsujii is a Greensboro native who is currently the second-in-command at the Guilford County Board of Elections.
He'll be replacing Steve Hines, who resigned from the Forsyth board in August.
The Winston-Salem Journal reports the board voted unanimously in favor of hiring Tsujii, and will be forwarding his nomination to Kim Strach, the executive director of the State Board of Elections.
He was chosen from a pool of more than 100 applicants.
Tsujii should be installed in time for the March 15 primary, which is the first election with photo identification requirements at the polls.
