PLAN FOR December 5th
On December 5, 2017 we will vote for the races in the runoff election. Those races are: Mayor; City Council President; City Council Districts 4, 9, and 11; and School Board Districts 2, 3, 5, and 7. Getting to the polls and voting is the only way to make sure your voice is heard, so let's get you to the polls!
Before you head to the polls, get familiar with the candidates in the runoff, their qualifications and their ideas for the future of our city.
Here are a few easy ways to get started:
- Start with this short, completely-unscientific Buzzfeed quiz — pulled from REAL questions with REAL answers: http://bit.ly/atlmayorquiz
- Watch a quick video - it takes 5 minutes or less!
- Listen to a 90 minute, in-depth interview
- Read their response to our mayoral job application
- Watch what they said at our forum
The best way to make sure you get to the polls is to make a plan for the when, where and how.
- Don't feel like going to the polls? Vote from home with an absentee ballot.
- Request an absentee ballot using our postcard here.
- Fully complete and sign your ballot when it arrives, including the ballot envelope and oath!
- Find where to mail your ballot by going to: http://bit.ly/mailballots
- Find an early voting location
- Use our map to find the polling location closest to you and get your vote on now!
- Grab a downloadable version to share with your friends and neighbors.
Don't feel like voting by mail or voting early? Then just head to the polls on December 5th.
Voting is more fun with friends!
