Early birds head to the polls in local elections

Early voting started today for local elections in 96 Georgia counties.

Advance voting ends Friday at 5 P.M. before the general election on November 6th.

Ballot items include several county and municipal seats, and a range of local measures.

Lynn Ledford, Vice President of the Georgia Election Officials Association, says she expects above-average turnout.

“There are a lot of mayoral races on the ballot, but also because of the presidential race there’s been so much interest. So I think that’s going to get a lot of the voters more interested.”

Major races also include city council seats, alcohol sales, and tax allocation measures.
