Special Election Likely For Oconee County Voters In State House District 117; Special Election In District 119 Also Possible

Voters in three of Oconee County’s 13 precincts likely will be participating in a special election on Nov. 7 to help determine who replaces Regina Quick in the Georgia House of Representatives.

Gov. Nathan Deal on Wednesday announced the appointment of Quick as Superior Court Judge of the Western Judicial Circuit, making it necessary for her to resign as representative of the 117th House District.

It also is possible voters in the remaining 10 precincts in the county will help select a new representative in a special election on Nov. 7 as well.

Rep. Chuck Williams from the 119th District is being considered for appointment as director of the Georgia Forestry Commission.
