Election Day ... The What, Who and Where ....

Election Day is now just six days away and if the turnout at Monday night’s ‘meet and greet’ at Christ the King Lutheran Church was any indication, there is a high level of interest in these upcoming elections. 

When you vote next Tuesday you will get an opportunity to vote on the following items:

A)     Peachtree Corners

1)      Mayor (Mike Mason is running unopposed)

2)      City Council (geographic post – 1, 2 or 3 based on where you live)

3)      City Council At-Large Post 4

4)      City Council At-Large Post 5

5)      City Council At-Large Post 6

B)      Republican Presidential Primary (if you are voting Republican)

C)      Sunday Package Sales for unincorporated Gwinnett County

Here is a link to what your sample ballot would look like if you were voting in the Republican Primary

The key thing is to make sure you get out and vote.  That privilege was purchased at great cost for all of us.  You can ensure that sacrifice was not made in vain by getting out and voting.
