Salute Holmes County Poll Worker Freddie Ann Byrd Farmer.
This is a ceremonial resolution (SC 536), not a substantive bill. It honors Holmes County poll worker Freddie Ann Byrd Farmer for her 69 consecutive years of service, beginning at age 21. The resolution commends her dedication as a "frontline of democracy" volunteer who has ensured fair elections in Holmes County since 1954. It does not create new laws or policies; it simply expresses legislative appreciation and plans to present the resolution to her at a Capitol ceremony.
