Vote 2012: Municipal elections on Tuesday
By Wade KwonIt wouldn’t be an election year without a lot of Election Days, and maybe a tropical storm coming in from the Gulf of Mexico.
Polls open at 7 a.m. Tuesday in 46 towns in Jefferson and Shelby Counties. Voters will select mayors and council members in these municipal races.
The precincts close at 7 p.m. Runoff races, if needed, will be held on Oct. 9.
Cities in Jefferson and Shelby Counties holding elections on Tuesday:
Adamsville Alabaster Brighton Brookside Calera Cardiff Center Point Chelsea Clay Columbiana County Line Fairfield Fultondale Gardendale Graysville Harpersville |
Helena Homewood Hoover Hueytown Indian Springs Village Irondale Kimberly Leeds Lipscomb Maytown Midfield Montevallo Morris Mountain Brook Mulga |
North Johns Pelham Pinson Pleasant Grove Sylvan Springs Tarrant Trafford Trussville Vestavia Hills Vincent Warrior West Jefferson Westover Wilsonville Wilton |
And for those still interested, the general election takes place Nov. 6.

- Black and White has an interesting editorial on Homewood’s election buried in its bulky PDF edition. Sigh.
