This is your resource now and going forward for getting more information on our municipal elections. There are two ballot questions that ALL District 2 residents should make it a priority to weigh in on.

(Yes, No) 2) Do you approve a new homestead exemption from City of South Fulton property taxes for municipal purposes in the amount of the difference between the current year assessed value of a home and its lowest base year value, provided that the lowest base year value will be adjusted yearly by the lesser of 3 percent or the inflation rate?

VOTER TURNOUT AT WOLF CREEK LIBRARY | | | | | | | | (Click the Image Above to Download the PDF) For many of us, having Wolf Creek Library as an early voting location is convenient. Getting in and out to vote is a breeze. Between October 15 and October 29, only 412 voters had taken advantage of the Wolf Creek Library location for early voting. Let's show that we are engaged, and that we are motivated and excited to exercise our right to vote by increasing our attendance during early voting at this location. Please share this information with your neighbors and encourage them to get out and vote as well.
