Runoff day:  On TUESDAY, AUGUST 21, you can return to your regular polling location during the same hours as the election, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
The seats included in the runoff are: 
DeKalb School Board Districts 4 and 6,
the Georgia House District 92,
and Georgia Senate District 44.

Incumbent school board member Paul Womack is facing Jim McMahan for the District 4 seat.  GTCO-ATL fans are reminded that Paul Womack is the board member who brought the idea of cell towers to DeKalb County AFTER watching the Cobb County School Board go through the same process with major fallout from angry citizens.  Womack chose to give it a shot anyway.  (See more about McMahan's credentials below)

In District 6, Melvin Johnson is facing Denise McGill.  Johnson is affiliated with the near-defunct New Birth church and has sat on the school board once before.  He has been associated with many of the problems facing our district today that has led to a downward spiral of our education system.  (See more about McGill's credentials below.)

In House 92, its Tonya Anderson and Doreen Williams.

In Senate District 44, Gail Davenport and Gail Bucker are facing each other.
