Reminder: Voter Registration Deadline is Monday

Cumming residents who haven’t yet registered to vote but would like to cast a ballot in the upcoming elections for the Cumming City Council have less than two weeks to get on the voter rolls.

Three seats on the council are on the Nov. 3 ballot, with two of the three seats having contested races. In post four, Christopher D. Light, Guy McBrayer, Dana M. Sexton, Jack Shoemake and Avery Stone are vying for the council, while Linda Ledbetter and Julie Tressler square off in post 5. Post 3 councilman and incumbent Lewis Ledbetter is running unopposed.

Voter registration for the Nov. 3 election closes on Oct. 5 at the end of business, according to the city. Residents who have valid Georgia driver’s licenses may use the Secretary of State’s website to complete their registration online; prospective voters who prefer to avoid the computer can register in person at the Forsyth County Voter Registrations and Elections Office located at 110 E. Main Street, Suite 200 in Cumming or by mail to the same address.

If you can’t stand waiting in lines on election day, you can take advantage of the early voting period which lasts from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Mondays through Fridays from Oct. 12, 2015 through Oct. 30. Early voting takes place at Cumming City Hall.
