Election Commission Issues Four Petitions for Alexandria Election

Alexandria voters will have a chance to elect a mayor and as many as five aldermen in the town’s election on September 3.
Qualifying petitions are now available from the DeKalb County Election Commission. The deadline to get in the race is noon on June 18.
In this year’s Alexandria election, three aldermen are to be elected, each to serve a four year term. Meanwhile, a mayor and two other aldermen are to be elected to fill vacancies or the remaining two years of unexpired terms.
The sitting members are Mayor Tony Tarpley and Aldermen Pat Jackson, David Cripps, John Suggs, and Bennett Armstrong. All are serving as appointees except for Jackson, who was elected in 2013 and still has two years remaining in his term.
Those who have picked up petitions from the election commission to date are as follows:
Mayor: Tony Tarpley (4 year term)
Alderman: Bennett Armstrong, David G. Cripps, and John Suggs (all for 4 year terms)
No petitions have yet been issued for the two-2 year terms to fill vacant/unexpired terms.
