Advance voting in Bibb will begin Oct. 5, board decides | Elections | Macon.com

Advance voting will begin Oct. 5 in the mayoral and commission runoff races, the Bibb County Board of Elections decided Tuesday.

Board Vice Chairman Steve Allen said there will tentatively be five more days of early voting, Oct. 7-11, but that hadn’t been finalized as of Tuesday. Early voting takes place at the Board of Elections office, 2445 Pio Nono Ave.

The Oct. 15 mayoral runoff, between Macon Mayor Robert Reichert and former Mayor C. Jack Ellis, will decide who will serve as mayor of the new Macon-Bibb County consolidated government, which takes over Jan. 1.

In addition, four races for new commission seats will be decided: District 2, in which Macon City Councilmen Henry Ficklin and Larry Schlesinger square off; District 4, pitting Councilwoman Beverly Olson against Mallory Jones; District 6, where Councilman Ed DeFore faces Adah Roberts; and District 8, which features a race between Councilmen Charles Jones and Virgil Watkins.
