Clarkston annexation on May ballot

Voters in precincts around Clarkston will vote in a special election on May 20 on whether to become part of that city.

The first area includes 231 voters in parts of the Indian Creek and Robert Shaw elementary school precincts. Another 2,122 voters in parts of the Idlewood and Jolly elementary precincts will also vote on annexation. Voters’ decisions in the areas are independent of each other, so one may join Clarkston without the other.

Early voting for the special election runs between Monday and May 16 at the county election offices, 4380 Memorial Dr., near Decatur.
