Welcome to the Wednesday edition of the Duluth Daily Digest. This is the place where you can find all of your local news and happenings for the day.

In this issue, you will read about voter registration confirmation, the county's new election supervisor, and the GMES Oversight Committee.

But first, the weather:

The weather will be a lot better than yesterday with partly cloudy skies and a high of 89 and a low of 68. What a beautiful day!

Here's the latest news:

1) Gwinnett Police are looking for suspects that have been breaking into cars on the east side of the city. The incident took place near Sweetwater Middle School. If you have any insights into who the suspects are, reach out to Atlanta Crime Stoppers. (Gwinnett Daily Post)

2) Gwinnett County Public Schools is reaching out to its constituents to be a part of their GEMS Oversight Committee. The committee meets regularly to discuss the Academic Knowledge and Skills (AKS) standards. This committee will start meeting on October 28. (Gwinnett Daily Post)

5) Some Gwinnett County voters will receive a confirmation to vote in the mail with thirty days to respond. The letter will include an envelope, paid postage, and a notice of your voter registration. If you do not send your letter back in the mail, it will not cancel your voter registration but it will put a hold on your account marking you as an inactive voter. (AJC)
