Early voting for the Alexandria Municipal Election is set to be held from Aug. 14 through Aug. 29 at the election commission office on the first floor of the DeKalb County Courthouse

 

Voting will take place on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday from 9 a.m. until noon, and Thursday from 1 p.m. until 4 p.m. Three aldermen will be chosen for four-year terms and two will be elected to fill the remaining two years of vacant or unexpired terms.

 

A mayor will also be chosen to fill a two-year term left unfilled by the resignation of Jim York, who was elected, then quit a few days into his term.

 

Current appointed Mayor Tony Tarpley and Bennett Armstrong will seek the mayor’s seat, while Danny Parkerson and Matthew Boss will run unopposed for the two-year aldermen positions. Kelly Pyburn, David Cripps, and John F. Suggs will run unopposed for the four-year terms as aldermen.
