CLARKESVILLE — The City of Clarkesville will hold a special election this summer to fill the vacancy on city council created by last week's resignation of Casey Ramsey.
During its meeting Monday night, the city council unanimously adopted a resolution setting a special election on Tuesday, June 20, at the Ruby Fulbright Aquatic Center in Clarkesville.
That election will be for the office of council member, and the person elected will serve for roughly two and one-half years, beginning on or about June 21, 2017, and continuing through Dec. 31, 2019.
Qualifying for the special election will be Monday through Wednesday, April 24-27, from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., except for a one-hour lunch break beginning at 1 p.m. daily. The place of qualifying is the Habersham County Office of Elections and Registration in the basement of the Habersham County Administrative Building, 555 Monroe St., Clarkesville.
The qualifying fee is $18.
The deadline to register to vote in the special election is Monday, May 22, by 5 p.m.
