Oct 1 is the special election for the Jackson City Council's Ward 2 seat. See where to vote

olls open Tuesday for a special election to decide who will be representing Ward 2 on the Jackson City Council.

The Ward 2 seat became vacant in August after former councilwoman Angelique Lee resigned, then pleaded guilty in federal court of receiving nearly $20,000 in bribes. Lee will be sentenced in November. It was her first full term as a councilwoman.

Since then, six candidates have qualified for election to the seat. All are residents of Ward 2. Those candidates include: Catherine Robinson, Marcus Cheatham, Celestial M. Gordon-Griffin, Brian Mozee, Montyne "Tina" Clay and Cheryl Matory.

There are 10 voting precincts in Ward 2. All will be open to voters from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m, Tuesday, Oct. 1. Voters must be residents of Ward 2.
