Tuesday is the final Election Day of the year in metro Atlanta, with runoffs to decide who will claim over a dozen local government seats across the area.

The journey here started with nearly 100 contested races on the ballot in over 40 cities across the metro area last month

Tuesday’s runoffs include a hotly contested citywide school board seat in Atlanta, a race to decide Brookhaven’s new mayor and a number of city council races from South Fulton up to Sugar Hill and places in between.
