There are two races from the May 24 General Primary and Nonpartisan Election that require a runoff on Tuesday, July 26.
The 2016 Georgia Republican Primary has been extended in Cobb County with the July 26 runoff between incumbent Commission Chairman Tim Lee and challenger Mike Boyce, a retired Marine Colonel. With no Democratic challenger, the winner of the runoff will serve the next four years as Chairman of Cobb County.

The other race that requires voters to decide is for Cobb County Judge of State Court, Post 3. The candidates are Kellie Hill and John Morgan. You can click HERE to read about these judicial candidates in the League of Women Voters Guide.
