Polls are now open for a special election runoff to determine who will represent Georgia’s 13th Congressional District through the end of the year.
The race to fill the seat of late Congressman David Scott is between his daughter, Marcye Scott, and former Gwinnett County School Board Chairman Everton Blair Jr.
David Scott represented the district from 2003 until his death on April 22 at 80 years old.
Marcye Scott is seeking to finish her father’s term, while Blair, a Lilburn resident, is campaigning on his previous experience as an elected official in Gwinnett County.
The winner of the special election will spend nine weeks in Washington beginning next month and serve through the end of the year.
Polls are open until 7 p.m.
