County constitutional officers are elected for four-year terms and have such powers and duties as provided by general law.

Interview your Clerk of Superior Court, Probate Judge, Sheriff, or Tax Commissioner. Call their office and schedule a phone interview or virtual appointment regarding the COAG Scholarship Essay. Post COVID-19, these interviews can be done in-person, over the phone or virtually.
