What it means for you

  • Your state senator, state representative or county commissioner may change in January. Which districts you are in depends on your address. The state’s My Voter Page lists them.
  • No Johns Creek race goes to a runoff. Every contest on Johns Creek ballots had two candidates, so each was settled Tuesday.
  • The transportation sales tax passed countywide, though Johns Creek’s precincts voted no. Our TSPLOST results story has the figures.
