Voters in Kingsland can head to the polls this week as early voting begins for an open city council seat.
Councilman LaMar Stokes unexpectedly resigned late last year, prompting a March 16 special election for the Post 3 council seat.
Three candidates are running to fill the remaining two years of Stokes’ term:
Sanjay Patel
Kristy Chance Starke
Advance, in-person voting for the election begins Monday at the Camden County Annex on North Gross Road in Kingsland. Early voting continues through March 12.
Voting at assigned precincts will take place on Election Day, March 16.

The eyes of the nation may be on the runoff election for two U.S. Senate seats in Georgia, but only registered voters in the state can cast ballots. In the balance: which party will control the Senate for at least the next two years.
The runoffs pit incumbent Republican Sens. Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue against Democratic challengers Rev. Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff. Republicans need one more seat for a majority in the Senate, while Democrats need to win both races.

Two U.S. Senate races almost never appear on a ballot in the same year, but that happened in Georgia’s November election. Because no candidate in those two races earned at least 50%, Georgia voters are asked to return to the polls, where both U.S. Senate races are on runoff ballots.
In the balance? Which party will control the U.S. Senate for at least the next two years.
