The has been cancelled the vote after each position up for election has only one candidate qualified, according to

Marie Burnham, Lovejoy election superintendent. They are:

For Mayor – Bobby Cartwright

For Post I – Tommy Green

For Post II – Marci Fluellyn

For Post III – Rebekah Holland Wright

For Post IV – Mary Ann Carp

Several cities throughout metro Atlanta have done similarly. This isn’t unusual for the municipal election season.
