Early Voting Begins For Roswell Special Election Runoff

ROSWELL, GA -- Roswell residents can venture to the polls this week to make their choice between the two candidates running in the April 18 special election runoff to fill the vacant City Council seat.

Early voting will run 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday, April 10 to Friday, April 14 for Roswell as well as the City of South Fulton's races at four locations across the county:

• East Roswell Branch Library, 2301 Holcomb Bridge Road, Roswell
• Roswell Branch Library, 115 Norcross Street, Roswell
• South Fulton Service Center, 5600 Stonewall Tell Road, College Park
• Wolf Creek Library, 3100 Enon Road, Atlanta

Roswell's runoff overlaps with the special election to fill Georgia's 6th Congressional seat. Early voting for that race began Monday, March 27. In addition to receiving one ballot for the Congressional District 6 election, voters living in Roswell may vote for the city council seat after completing another voter certificate.

Fulton elections spokesperson April Majors said voters should inform poll staff members if they want to vote in both races.

"They will have to verify and sign the pre-printed absentee voter certificates for each," she added, noting the county's election system generates the pre-populated voter certificate with the voters information.

If you choose both, you will get two ballots to cast: one for the City Council race and the other for the Congressional seat.

Lori Henry and Marie Willsey, the candidates who advanced to the runoff following the March 21 special election, are on the ballot for voters to consider.

Election day is Tuesday, April 18 for the runoff elections. All eligible voters are to vote at their designated poll site on Election Day.
