Winterville Municipal Elections

From the City of Winterville’s web site (with a hat tip to Donny Seagraves on the Winterville listserv):

The City of Winterville will hold a General Election on Tuesday, November 6, 2007, at Winterville Elementary School. Two Council seats and the office of Mayor will be on the ballot. Mayor [James] Mercer and Councilmember Mark Farmer will be running for reelection. For more information, call Winterville City Hall, 706-742-8600 or stop by City Hall.

According to Seagraves, “Councilmember Courtney Spratlin resigned his council seat effective 05/23/07. Donny Seagraves is currently filling that seat until the term ends December 31, 2007, but will not be running for election to a four-year term."

And a final note from me:

Winterville’s municipal elections are conducted by the Athens-Clarke County Board of Elections and are non-partisan, just like those of every other municipality (save Macon) and unified government in the state.
