Runoff elections and endorsements

RUNOFF ELECTIONS IN GEORGIA TUESDAY, JUNE 18;
EARLY, IN-PERSON VOTING HAS BEGUN, ENDS FRIDAY

Runoff elections to determine party nominations for legislative races and to elect non-partisan school board members will be next Tuesday, June 18. Polls are open Election Day from 7 a.m. until 7:00 p.m. Early, in-person advanced voting ends on Friday, June 14.

GAE is not recommending voting absentee by mail in this election unless absolutely necessary. North Georgia, including the Atlanta metro area, is experiencing unprecedented delays in the processing and delivery of mail. There was a recent hearing in the U.S. Senate in which it was revealed that in April only 36% of mail was delivered on time in the region.
