Primary Election Information

Starting on April 29, 2024, Dekalb County voters will vote early in the Democratic Primary Election. Saira Draper is the Democratic candidate in Dekalb’s House District 90. 

After the Primary election, in the November “General Election,” voters will again vote for the winners of the Democratic and Republican candidates for the Georgia State House and other State and Federal offices, including the Presidential Election. 

There are no Republican candidates running in District 90, which means that the winner of the Democratic Primary will be the representative for District 90.
