DeKalb GOP releases qualifying dates for special election

In preparation for the special election of the Constable position for District 1, the DeKalb County Republican Executive Committee met June 30th to discuss the open position. The committee discussed with Judge Osborn the dates that the DeKalb County Commission approved earlier that day. The committee urged that our elected officials seek out a remedy for the special election status that is currently imposed on DeKalb County. Chairman Mark Ford says that the DeKalb County GOP is actively preparing for the March 01st, 2016 election.

Chairman Ford addressed the committee with the procedures and time lines that the special election places on the Republican Party. Chairman Ford recommended dates for any person that wishes to seek the Constable position to qualify with the Republican Party. Anyone seeking this office must live within district one.

Qualifying dates for the Republican Party starts June 29th and ends July 17th at 5 pm.  Anyone interested in qualifying as a republican should contact Mark Ford, Chairman at 256.524.5179 or mpford92@gmail.com.
