The Ball Ground City Council is slated to have two new members next year, one of which will be decided in November’s municipal election.
Qualifying ended last Wednesday afternoon, and council members Andrenia Stoner and Lee Prettyman did not sign up to run for re-election.
In Stoner’s Post 1, Scott Barnes was the only person to qualify for the seat.
Barnes is a member of the Cherokee County Planning Commission.
In Prettyman’s Post 2, two candidates are running: Annette Homiller and Charles Jenkins.
Jenkins ran for the city council last year, for Post 5.
Councilwoman Vicki Benefield of Post 3 qualified for re-election, and was the only person to qualify for the post.
Election Day voting for Ball Ground’s municipal election is 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Nov. 8 at Ball Ground United Methodist Church, 3045 Ball Ground Highway.
The city of Ball Ground contracts with the Cherokee County Board of Elections to conduct all city elections.
For absentee mail, in-person early voting and voter registration information, call 770-479-0407.

Correction
A previous version of this story said that Scott Barnes was a former member of the Cherokee County Planning Commission. Barnes resigned from the planning commission in 2019, but was re-appointed in February. We regret the error.
