The date of Statesboro’s special election for the vacant District 5 City Council seat remains May 22, after the remaining four council members declined to take up a resolution changing the election to Nov. 6. So, the candidate qualifying period is still this Monday at 8 a.m. until noon Wednesday, March 26–28. Council members came into Tuesday evening’s meeting with a draft of the resolution, along with some ambiguous opinions from lawyers.
Council unmoved on special election: May 22
