Oct. 13—MOULTRIE, Ga. — Early voting will begin across the state on Monday, but two Colquitt County municipalities have more on the ballot than most.

City of Doerun

The City of Doerun will have three city council vacancies — Posts 3, 4 and 5 — in this year's local election, according to Doerun City Clerk Kimberly Taylor.

Dewayne Turpin is the only candidate for Post-3, and Mike Blair is the only candidate for Post-4. Randy Dalton and Willie D. Slaughter are opposing candidates for Post-5, Taylor said.

Doerun residents can cast ballots in the city election at the council chambers in Doerun's city hall, 223 W. Broad Ave., 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Saturday, Oct. 24 through Nov. 4 as well as on Election Day, Nov. 8. This is not the place where they will vote in county and state races.

City of Norman Park

In a phone interview Thursday morning, Norman Park City Clerk Hope Amador said there will be two referendum questions on the Norman Park city ballot: One to allow Sunday alcohol sales and the other to allow the sale of distilled spirits. No elected offices are on the city ballot.

Norman Park residents should report to the Norman Park City Hall, 154 E. Broad St., Norman Park, for the city election. Early voting for city elections will take place Monday, Oct. 17, to Friday, Nov. 4, from 8 a.m. to noon and 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. This is not where Norman Park residents will vote in county and state races.

The cities of Moultrie, Berlin, Ellenton and Funston will not host any city elections this year.
