Boland and Bagley Qualify for Loganville City Council Special Election

Loganville city officials confirmed that at close of qualifying for the Loganville Special Election to serve out the remaining two and a half years of former Councilman two candidates had qualified.

As they had each previously announced, former Walton County District 2 Commissioner Chuck Bagley and newcomer Jay Boland had both qualified. Curry resigned to run to serve out the remainder of the late Mayor Ray Nunley's term. He was the only candidate to qualify and is effectively the mayor-elect. His name, however, will still appear on the June 18 Special Election ballot and he won't be able to be sworn in until after the election, according to Loganville city officials.

Nunley passed away last week after battling cancer since a diagnosis in November last year. He had already stepped down and thrown his support behind Curry's candidacy. Councilman Mark Kiddoo was voted vice mayor at the April city council meeting and is the acting mayor until Curry is sworn in.

Curry will have to run again in November if he wishes to serve a new four-year term as mayor. There also will be elections in November for the city council posts currently occupied by Councilwomen Michelle Lynch and Councilmen Rey Martinez and Mark Kiddoo. 

Anyone not already registered to vote may do so before May 20, 2013. Voter registration for the City of Loganville Special Election will close at 5 p.m. Tuesday, May 20, 2013.

The Special Election will be held Tuesday, June 18, 2013 between the hours of 7 a.m. and 7 p.m.

The City of Loganville has one precinct for Municipal Elections. All residents of the City of Loganville will vote at the Rock Gym Precinct located on Main Street.

Advance Voting will begin Monday, May 27, 2013 until Friday, June 14, 2013 during business hours at the Municipal Complex (City Hall) located at 4385 Pecan Street.
