Voters today are deciding whether to create two new cities in DeKalb County.

The votes will determine whether LaVista Hills and Tucker become the state's newest cities.  The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports (http://bit.ly/1NogFr4) that if voters approve both cities, they would take in more than 100,000 DeKalb County residents.

If voters approve, LaVista Hills would have more than 67,446 residents.  Tucker would have a population of about 33,300.

If approved, LaVista Hills and Tucker would become the Atlanta area's eighth and ninth new cities since Sandy Springs incorporated in 2005.
