If you voted Tuesday, you faced a long ballot. Georgians picked in the governor's race, U.S. Senate, statewide offices, state House and Senate seats, and local elections, and polls stayed open until 7 p.m.
If you're in Fulton County, your ballot also had a county commission chair race, three board seats and two sales tax questions. One was a 1% ESPLOST for Fulton County Schools and Atlanta Public Schools.
- Transportation SPLOST: 0.75% extension for projects outside the City of Atlanta
- Sandy Springs: Redevelopment Powers Act referendum
- Palmetto: senior property tax exemption
Most Fulton County polling locations closed at 7 p.m. Tuesday, and tabulation was set to begin. The reports we have were written before the results came in, so they carry none.
