Candidate Petitions for Liberty Election Now Available

Candidate petitions for the August 3 Liberty City Election are now available, according to the DeKalb County Election Commission office.
A Mayor and two Aldermen are scheduled to be elected, and Dennis Stanley, Administrator of Elections, said petitions can be picked up now.
“The qualifying deadline for those offices is Noon May 18, and petitions can be picked up now, or up until the qualifying deadline” Stanley said. “The candidates just need to remember the petitions must be returned before the deadline in order to be processed.”
The Mayor’s post is currently held by Dwight Mathis. Alderman up for office are the positions currently held by Howard Reynolds, Jr. and J.D. Bratten.
Bratten was just elected last year to fill the remainder of an unexpired term. That slot and the others on this year’s ballot will be for a four-year term.
