While early voting in the primaries and East Cobb cityhood referendum got underway Monday, voters in a legislative district in East Cobb will go to their home precincts Tuesday to decide a special election.
Eligible voters in the current boundaries of Georgia House District 45 can go their usual polling precincts between 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday during the runoff between Republican Mitchell Kaye (left) and Democrat Dustin McCormick.
They were the top two finishers in the April 5 special election, in which none of the four candidates received a majority of the votes.
The election was called by Gov. Brian Kemp after former State Rep. Matt Dollar resigned in February.
The Cobb Elections office said there are 12 precincts with voters who are eligible to vote in the special election:
- Chestnut Ridge; Dickerson; Dodgen; Hightower; Murdock; Mt. Bethel 1; Mt. Bethel 3; Pope (portion); Roswell 1; Roswell 2; Sewell Mill 1 (portion); Timber Ridge
Dollar, who served nearly two decades, was the main sponsor of East Cobb cityhood legislation and resigned shortly after the bill passed the Georgia House.
His successor will serve through the end of the year in the current District 45 boundaries.
Kaye, who preceded Dollar in the legislature for a decade, got 42 percent of the vote in the special election, and McCormick got nearly 40 percent.
Both oppose East Cobb Cityhood.
McCormick also is on the primary ballot as the only Democrat to qualify for the new District 45. Current District 43 State Rep. Sharon Cooper and Carminthia Moore are competing in the Republican primary, with the winner to face McCormick in the November general election.
