Chris Light is currently on top of the Post 4 candidate list with 39 percent of all ballots cast. The next closest candidate is Jack Shoemake at almost 28 percent. It’s likely Light and Shoemake will need a runoff to decide Ralph Perry’s successor.

In the Post 5 race, Linda Ledbetter has almost 53 percent of the votes in her race against Julie Tressler.

In Cumming’s Post 4, outgoing councilman Ralph Perry will be replaced by either Chris Light, Dana Sexton, Jack Shoemake, Avery Stone, or Guy McBrayer.

In Post 5, John D. Pugh will be succeeded by either Linda Ledbetter or Julie Tressler, who ran against each other in June to succeed Sexton following his resignation. Charles F. Welch, Jr. won the election and replaced Sexton on the council.

Lewis Ledbetter is facing no opposition in Post 3 and will return to an office he has held since 1971.

The Forsyth County website will post the results of the Cumming municipal election once the polls close at 7 p.m.
