Republican

voters will be asked to return to the polls next

week to finalize four party nominations not

decided in the General Primary July 18.

Runoffs

will be on the ballot Tuesday, Aug. 8, for County

Commission Post 1, Board of Education posts 2 and

3, and some of Fayette's voters will participate

in a runoff for state Senate District 28. Results

will be on The Daily Citizen Online at https://www.thecitizennews.com .

Voters

who chose a Democrat ballot in the primary will

not be eligible to vote Tuesday; those who chose

a Republican ballot or voted only in nonpartisan

races, and those who did not vote will be

eligible. State election officials are predicting

that voter turnout may dip into the single-digit

percentages.

The

party nomination for the Senate seat will be the

final chance to vote in that race, because no

Democrats have qualified to run for that post. The Republican candidate

chosen Tuesday for Commission Post 1 will face

Elizabeth Jane Barnes, who ran unopposed for the

Democratic nomination in the primary, in the Nov.

7 General Election.

Facing

off for County Commission Tuesday will be A.G.

VanLandingham and Carl Davis.

Incumbent

state Sen. Rick Price will face Mitch Seabaugh

Tuesday. The 28th District includes parts of

Fayette and Spalding counties and all of Coweta.

For

Board of Education Post 2, political newcomers

Kimberly Gatlin and Terri Smith will face off;

for Post 3, incumbent board member Connie Hale

will vie with former board member Marion Key,

with the winner facing Democrat Bill Bryan in

November.

Candidate

interviews were carried in the July 26 edition of

The Citizen, and questionnaires were in previous

editions. In today's edition, The Citizen has

offered candidates 250 words to woo Fayette

voters in any way they see fit. Those essays are

on pages 10A and 11A.
