Everyone might be suffering from major election fatigue, but Atlanta residents have one more race they have to decide before they can tune out for a little while.

Why it matters: Voters will choose between two candidates — Eshé Collins and Nicole "Nikki" Evans Jones — to serve out the unexpired term of the Post 3 at-large seat on the City Council.

Early voting: Early voting begins Saturday, Nov. 23 and runs through Nov. 27.

• Early voting dates and times are 9am-6pm Nov. 23, 12-5pm Nov. 24, and 9am-6pm Nov. 25-27.

Where to vote early: Atlanta residents in Fulton County can find early voting locations on the Department of Registration and Elections website. Early voting sites for Atlanta's DeKalb residents can be found here.

Absentee voting: The last day you can request an absentee ballot is Friday, Nov. 22.

Election Day: The election takes place Dec. 3. Polls will be open from 7am-7pm.

Go deeper: The Center for Civic Innovation hosted a forum featuring both candidates last week. You can watch the recording on YouTube.

Catch up quick: Keisha Sean Waites resigned from the seat earlier this year to launch an unsuccessful bid for Fulton County clerk of superior court.

• Collins and Evans Jones were the top two vote-getters among the five candidates in the Nov. 5 election.
• Whoever wins the runoff will only complete the remainder of Waites' term, which expires next December — meaning they would have to run again in next year's municipal elections to remain in the seat longer.

The typical kitchen renovation in Atlanta will cost between $13,000 and $37,000, Angi data from remodels conducted from 2012 through 2022 shows.

• The average cost was just under $22,000.

Why it matters: Kitchen upgrades tend to have a high return on investment and can help sell your home down the line.

Zoom in: If you're on a tighter budget "paint is your best friend," kitchen designer Heidi Huddleston says. A fresh cabinet color can transform the space.

• For a high-impact DIY upgrade, "changing the hardware is like switching the jewelry on an outfit," she says. Consider swapping cabinet knobs for matte black handles or satin brass pulls for a more stylish look.

What's next: Clean lines, simple cabinet fronts and natural wood tones are up-and-coming kitchen design trends, Huddleston says.
