Voters in parts of Atlanta and Cherokee County will settle runoff elections on Tuesday, April 16.
The races for Atlanta City Council District 3 and Cherokee County Commission District 3 require runoffs because no candidate received the required 50 percent of the vote in the special election on March 19.
