Sales tax referendums on ballots today

Today is election day in Jackson, Barrow, Elbert, and Hart counties, where voters go to the polls to settle school bond and sales tax referendums. Gwinnett County voters will decide tomorrow a controversial proposal to expand MARTA into Gwinnett. The polls that open at 7 o’clock this morning are open until 7 tonight.

There will be no election today in Bowman: Pete Gibbons, who left the mayor’s office three years ago to make an unsuccessful run for the state Senate, has been sworn in and is now serving as the replacement for Mark Berryman, who resigned as Mayor of Bowman back in December. Gibbons was the only candidate to qualify in the special election that was to have been held today. A judge cancelled the voting.
