The Chair of the Doraville City Council announced that Council member Carrie Armistead resigned to accept a position as the new librarian for the city of Doraville, and the council set a special election to fill her seat.
"Council member, Carrie Armistead, resigned to accept a position as the new librarian for the city of Doraville," the Chair said, and later added, "Per Georgia code, we are required to set a qualifying date and have this special election for this, this November 3." The council agreed to schedule the special election for Nov. 3, 2026, and to set qualifying dates of Monday, Aug. 10 through Wednesday, Aug. 12, with qualifying hours from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. each day and a break between 12 p.m. and 1 p.m. when packets cannot be dropped off.
