Moraima “Mo” Ivory took a slim lead over incumbent District 4 Commissioner Natalie Hall with early votes and about half of election day ballots counted, but at 9:20 p.m. no candidate had enough to avoid a runoff. Another Democratic contender, Sonya Ofchus, was far behind.
Under Georgia law a runoff between the two top candidates is required when no one receives a majority. Any needed runoff elections will be held June 18.
