The DeKalb County Democratic Party has called for a primary to be held on May 3, 2022. The primary will select nominees for county public offices, county commission seats, and to fill a vacant constable seat. Primary nominees will qualify for the August, 2022, General Election.

In a letter to DeKalb Administrator of Elections Dennis Stanley, DeKalb Democratic Party Chairman Jordan Wilkins called for the primary.

“As you know, it is my duty as Chair of the DeKalb County Democratic Party on behalf of its Executive Committee, to call the date of our county primary. I hereby call the DeKalb Democratic Party County Primary which shall occur on May 3, 2022,” Wilkins said.

“The Democratic Party calls primaries for the DeKalb County offices of General Sessions Judge, County Mayor, Sheriff, Road Supervisor, Circuit Court Clerk, Register of Deeds, Trustee, County Court Clerk, County Commissioner Districts 1-7, and a special election primary for Constable 4th District.”

“Assuming it is, or could potentially be, within our jurisdiction, for the Democratic State Primary on August 4, 2022, we call primaries for the offices of State Representative, State Senator, United States House of Representatives, and Governor.”

“We call primaries for any eligible county or state offices not included heretofore.” Wilkins concluded.
