Get Out And Vote Before It's Too Late

Polls are still open for a short time. You still have time to make your voice heard.

With only a small window of time left before polls close, time is running out to make your voice heard in this year's election. People young and old have been pouring into voter precincts throughout the day to cast their vote. Kathy Thompson made sure to cast her vote bright and early this morning before heading to work and says that there was a "steady stream" of people at her precinct on Old Alabama Road. Jessica Szilagyi is a campaign coordinator for Alpharetta mayoral candidate David Belle Isle. She also writes a blog about local issues titled, The Persispicious Conservative. She believes the time is now to make your voice heard. "I think it's important to vote especially in non-presidential years because voter turn out is so low. …

Letter to the Editor

Local Elections Called 'The Mean Season'

A member of the Alpharetta Planning Commission, a Windward resident, speaks out.

As a long-time member of the Alpharetta Planning Commission, and a former member of the Board of Zoning Appeals, the Windward Community Services Association, and the Windward Homeowners Association, and an active member of Alpharetta and the Windward Community, I feel it necessary to speak out on the up-coming election. Our local elections could well be called “The Mean Season” because of things otherwise sane and upstanding citizens and their supporters are driven to do in search of an elective office.  In the past, I took very active roles in mayoral and council races.  This election season, I made a commitment to myself and my family to remain neutral since I know and have been friends with all of the candidates running for office in …

Yes, he was against it then. It was not a good deal for the city. This is what Letchas refers to in his flyer against Belle Isle. DeRito and Aiken were against it too. As I recall *someone* put a video out about that first City Center. ~Anni   more ›

Editor's Notebook

Just Where Am I Supposed to Vote on Tuesday?

A list of polling places won't tell you where to vote, but the Secretary of State's website has you covered.

I was asked to provide a list of polling places in Alpharetta-Milton Patch, which sounds like a great idea, but it won't tell you where you are supposed to go to vote. Luckily, the Georgia Secretary of State's office has taken care of this for us, with its "My Voter Page." If you know your own name, your county and your date of birth, it's real easy to get your polling place and lots of other information. The poll locator tells me I should vote at St. James United Methodist Church, as seen on one of the screenshots with this story. But I live just west of GA 400 near Windward Parkway–you probably vote somewhere else. Voters in both Milton and Alpharetta have a chance to make a big difference in their communities, with City Council races in…
