Voters in the south metro Atlanta community will choose candidates for a board of education seat and three county commission posts.
For District 3 commission seat, incumbent Republican Derrell “Dee” Anglyn III will face fellow Republicans Kevin Anderson and Don Dunlap in the primary.

Incumbent District 4 Democratic Commissioner Vivian Thomas will compete with fellow Democrat Gwendolyn Bailey for her seat. The winner will meet Republican Robert Kolpak in the fall.
Four Democrats and one Republican are running for the newly redistricted District 5 seat. The Democrats are KC Krzic, Cletonya LaGrand, Kevin J. Lewis and Keisha V. Stubbs. The Republican candidate is Edward Toney.
In the non-partisan race for District 4 on the Henry Board of Education, incumbent Sophe Cook Pope will face Erika Hill and Deborah Sykes for the seat.
Incumbent Chief Magistrate Martin C. Jones is facing Andrea Boyd and Bonnie Witherspoon for his seat in the non-partisan race.
