Next month voters will head to the polls to vote in a couple of contested local races.  While most of Chattooga County’s constitutional officers are getting a pass this year with no challengers in the Republican Primary, voters will be choosing between two candidates for county commissioner and four candidates for coroner.

Earl Rainwater, the county’s only Democratic constitutional officer, decided not to seek another term.  It is the first time in decades that the coroners race has been a contested race in Chattooga County.  Sole Commissioner Blake Elsberry is being challenged by local businessman and farmer Andy Allen.

If you want to vote in next month’s primary for the contested races, you will need to be sure you are registered to vote today.  You can check the Georgia Secretary of State’s Georgia My Voter Page web site HERE

You can also register to vote at the Chattooga County Registrars Office, located on Commerce Street in downtown Summerville.
