City unveils planned voting districts
City district posts map
The city of Dawsonville has commissioned the Georgia Mountains Regional Commission to create district posts for city council members. The GMRC presented the proposed posts on Monday during a city council meeting.
At the bequest of the Dawsonville city council, the Georgia Mountains Regional Commission has created a proposal mapping out four district posts for city council seats. A spokesperson for the GMRC presented the proposal at Monday night’s city council meeting. Currently, council members are elected at large and run to fill any open seat. Establishing districts means that a council member must live in the district that they are running for and must declare to run for that seat, just like the Dawson County Board of Commissioners.
