The November 8 general election is now less than two months away and election officials are getting ready. With the governor and other statewide offices on the ballot, along with a high-profile U.S. Senate seat, turnout is expected to be high.
October 11 is the deadline to register to vote in the November election. You may register online through the Georgia Secretary of State’s office or at your local county voter registration office.
Any eligible voter who wants to cast an absentee mail-in ballot may do so, but they must request the ballot by October 28. No absentee ballots will be mailed after that date. Absentee ballot applications are available through your local elections office or the Georgia Secretary of State’s election website.
To avoid potential mail delays, you may wish to use a drop box. Georgia’s new election law requires drop boxes to be available in every county. In Habersham County, the drop box will be located inside the county elections office beginning October 17. It will be available to voters during early, Saturday, and advance voting hours through November 4.
All early in-person voting in Habersham will take place at the Ruby Fulbright Aquatic Center at 120 Paul Franklin Road in Clarkesville. (See voting schedule below.)
