News Details on early and absentee voting for Georgia runoff
Posted by Thomas Wheatley @thomaswheatley on Fri, Nov 7, 2008 at 9:02 PM
Were you one of the 2 million Georgians who enjoyed his or her early voting experience? The long lines, the new friends, the chance you may have ended up as a "missed connection" on Craigs List?
Good news! Absentee and early voting will be available for the Dec. 2 runoff.
After Georgia Secretary of State Karen Handel certifies election results next week, state election maestros and county election officials will start coordinating the runoff.
Matt Carrothers, Handel's spokesman, told me these details over the phone a few minutes ago:
Early voting will be held Monday through Wednesday (Nov. 24-26) during the week of Thanksgiving. County election offices are closed Thursday and Friday because of the holiday.
If you voted by mail-in or absentee ballot in the General Election, you'll still have to re-register. You can download an application at the Secretary of State's website or pick one up at your county election office. (Or just click here.) To find your county election office, click here. Applications can either be dropped off, mailed, or faxed as well.
