The Cobb County Board of Elections and Registration has set the dates for special elections to reshape Commissioner Districts 2 and 4. Following the November general election, which did not require a runoff, the board has confirmed that candidates can qualify to run from December 18-20. Following that, the primary will take place on February 11, 2025, with a possible runoff scheduled for March 11, 2025, if the need arises. The decisive General Special Election is pegged for April 29, 2025, as reported by
Cobb County’s official news
.
This electoral pivot is the result of a ruling from a Cobb County Superior Court Judge, who found the county’s usage of home rule powers in configuring its commission maps to be unconstitutional. Advance voting will be an option for those residing within the Commission Districts 2 and 4, ensuring that every eligible voter has the opportunity to have their say. It’s also worth noting, that voting for these special elections is restricted to residents of the affected districts only.
The upshot of this upcoming election is not just the potential shift in local governance but an affirmation of the legal checks and balances that keep democracy in tune.
