Macon sets date for special election to fill empty commissioner seat
A special election to fill the vacant Macon-Bibb County District 5 commissioner seat is set for March 17, according to Macon-Bibb County Board of Elections Supervisor Tom Gillon.
The district includes the areas of Vineville, Ingleside and Payne.
Early voting will take place from Feb. 23 to March 13, and those wanting the run for the seat should file paperwork between Feb. 11 and Feb. 13, Gillon said.
The seat came open after former District 5 Commissioner and Mayor Pro Tempore Seth Clark announced his resignation on Jan. 5 to run for Georgia lieutenant governor as a Democrat.
