One of Georgia's new touch-screen

voting computers will be on display Tuesday night at a forum designed

to have citizens mingle with candidates in the upcoming Aug. 20 primary.

Each candidate running for

county commission has agreed to attend the forum, which will be Tuesday,

July 23, from 7-9 p.m. at the Campbell Room of the Wyndham Peachtree Conference

Center in Peachtree City.

Frances Meaders of the Peachtree

City Rotary Club, which is sponsoring the function, said she hopes having

the voting machine on display will entice more people to come. The public

is invited and light refreshments will be served, she added.

The forum will serve as an

informal gathering so voters can meet the candidates, but the candidates

will be formally introduced and allowed to say a few words during the

event, Meaders said.

Candidates who have committed

to attend the event as of press time yesterday include:

For county commission: Caroline

Smith, Thomas Stephens, Linda Wells, Greg Dunn and Mike Wheat;

For Senate District 34: Chuck

Meadows and Emory Wilkinson;

Others planning to attend include

Diane Masengale, running for Senate District 17; Mitch Seabaugh, running

for Senate District 28; Merrill Massengale and John Lunsford, both running

for House District 85, Post 2.
