Placeholder Image
Georgia Hispanic leaders plan to make Gainesville’s at-large voting system an election-year issue in the city’s mayoral and city council races. The Georgia Association of Latino Elected Officials is holding a voting rights committee meeting Tuesday evening to educate residents on the city’s voting system and talk about next steps for those who want to change the system. That could include starting a petition, calling city council members, attending city council meetings and holding voter membership drives.
