The City of Doraville wants to hear from voters who encountered problems involving the annexation referendum in the November 4 General Election. According to the official election results released on November 7, the proposed annexation lost by a mere 34 votes. Now time is running out for voters and the city to request a new election.
“Legally it has to come from aggrieved voters,” Luke Howe, assistant to the Doraville’s Mayor said on his day off Tuesday. “The law says we have five days after the official votes come out, including the weekend and holiday.” The deadline to request a new vote is Wednesday, November 12 at 5 p.m. “We are working to collect statements at this minute,” he said, adding that the City Council is ready to pass a resolution “to say the city is behind a revote or anything that could attempt to sort this out.”
