Voter guide: Two sales tax referendums are on the ballot in Fulton County
Fulton County voters will decide whether to renew the Education Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax by extending a one-cent sales tax to pay for school building upgrades, technology and other projects.
Voters will also consider renewing a Transportation Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax. If renewed, Fulton County expects the tax of three-quarters of a penny would generate $545 million over five years to improve roads, sidewalks and other transportation infrastructure.
In addition to elections in Atlanta, three north Fulton cities have contentious mayoral elections and could see big changes on their city councils depending on the outcome of the election.
