Early voting for the Dec. 1 runoff elections for Clarkston mayor and Geeorgia House District 58 is now under way at the DeKalb Elections Office on Memorial Drive in Decatur.

The early polls, which opened Nov. 18, continue Nov. 23-25 from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. in Suite 300 at 4380 Memorial Drive in Decatur.

Clarkston City Council member Pat Davis-Morris and store manager Howard Tygrett are seeking to succeed Lee Swaney, who did not seek re-election. The runoff is going ahead despite a Nov. 13 resolution by the city council that declared Tygrett the winner and affirmed the city’s long tradition of selecting its elected officials with a plurality of votes.

In the House 58 race, attorney Asha Jackson and community organizer Simone Bell are seeking to finish the term of Robbin Shipp, who resigned in April.

On election day, the polls will be open 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. in the city and throughout House District 58.
