Roswell Election 2019: Voting Hours, Polls, Sample Ballot

ROSWELL, GA — Election Day is Tuesday in Roswell, and voters will cast their ballots in the 2019 municipal election.

The Roswell City Council election will take place Nov. 5. The election is for the council seats of Post 1, Post 2 and Post 3. All council posts serve at large, which means they represent the whole city and not just one district.

Terms for all municipal offices are four years, with elections being held every two years. This means that three members run at one time with the other three running two years later. The purpose of this provision for staggered terms is to ensure that the council is never completely composed of freshmen members.
