Filing for city and school board elections opened Jan. 13 and so far few have signed up for most seats to be decided in May.
The deadline to enter is Feb. 12. Any entity that doesnât get more than the minimum number of candidates can cancel the election.
The City of Athens has a mayoral race and also a council seat to be decided. When the filing window opened, Mayor Monte Montgomery and Place 1 Councilwoman Toni Clay were quick to get on the ballot for new terms. Montgomery and Clay, who also serves as Mayor Pro-tem, both were swept into office in May of 2017 and won re-election two years ago.
