ATLANTA (AP) — The city’s voters could choose a new mayor and make history despite an expected low voter turnout.
Polls open for Atlanta’s general election at 7 a.m. and close at 8 p.m. Among the frontrunners to become the new mayor of Atlanta are city council President Lisa Borders, councilwoman Mary Norwood and state Sen. Kasim Reed. In all, six candidates are vying for the position, including Norwood, who would become the city’s first white mayor in a generation if she is elected.
If Norwood does not get a majority of the votes cast, she would face a Dec. 1 runoff, likely between either Borders or Reed, according to most political observers.
Also on the ballot are races for city council, board of education and municipal court judges.
