Municipal elections are just around the corner and qualifying for local races begins on Aug. 19 in Decatur, Avondale Estates and Tucker.

With numerous seats on the ballot — including a School Board race in Decatur — covering the elections will be a tough assignment for this small community news website, but we’re aiming to provide you with the best and most comprehensive election coverage.

To accomplish that, we’ll need some assistance from people running for office. If you are planning to qualify for elections this year, please let us know so we can let voters know. Send your campaign announcements to [email protected]. Be sure to list what seat you are running for, the URL of your campaign website and any other information you think voters should know. Also, don’t forget to send us a picture, preferably a 640 by 420 shot.

Decaturish will organize forums for the Decatur races and will provide coverage of the other races. Our coverage will include a Q&A with all the candidates, articles about the various forums and running letters to the editor from the candidates or their supporters. We will also provide live coverage of election results on election night, Nov. 5.

Voter registration will end Oct. 7. Early voting will start on Oct. 14.

We will need the support of our readers this year, too.
