Absentee voting begins tomorrow in Habersham County. If you’re unable to get to the polls, you may apply for a paper ballot Sept. 20-Nov. 4, 2016.
“Voters who are disabled, 65 or older, working or traveling out of town, or who are in the military should request an absentee ballot by mail if they are not sure that they can make it to the polls on Election Day,” says Election Supervisor Laurel Ellison. “Otherwise, they should vote early or advance if they just prefer not to wait in long lines on Election Day.”
