City of Dunwoody Election breakdown by Precinct for November 5, 2019 #gapol


Above are the Dunwoody Mayoral election stats broken down by precinct, which shows that Lynn Deutsch won 12 of the 13 precincts with the only the Dunwoody Library precinct being won by Terry Nall which mostly covers the Branches Neighborhood.    Turnout numbers were low citywide in this election at about 25%, with a large discrepancy between some of the single-family precincts voting as high as 39% with the multi-family precincts voting as low as 10%.   Imagine what the turn out numbers would have been without early voting being so easy?

Comparing turnout numbers from this election to last year's gubernatorial election is quite striking as 20,000 people voted last year, and only 7,000 voted in the Mayoral election.

Looking below at past citywide elections where there are no other state-wide elections, I guess the 25 percent turnout was to be expected but the jump of 7,000 additional registered voters between 2015 and 2019 is interesting as I do not believe the City has added that many residences except for a few townhome developments and the new single-family homes off Vermack as well as Shallowford.  I guess voter registration in anticipation of the 2018 election garnered quite a bump?

Update from Ms. Bev Wingate, the 2008 City Charter turnout was 43% with 24,239 registered voters and 81% voted yes for incorporation. (Thanks Bev!)
