The educational special purpose local option sales tax (E-SPLOST) is to
continue a 1% sales tax for educational purposes for the DeKalb,
Atlanta and Decatur school systems. This 1% tax has been collected since 1997 and must be voted on every five years to continue.

In addition to the E-SPLOST, each municipality in DeKalb is conducting
elections for city officials, to approve Sunday liquor sales and to
approve special referendums.
