Early voting for the December 2nd runoff election began today in Fulton Co., a day after polling stations opened across much of Georgia.
Fulton had ballot counting issues in the November fourth elections. Counties must start early voting as soon as their ballots are printed, have until Wednesday to open stations.
Fulton Co. elections officials were unavailable for comment.
Voters are casting ballots for the U.S. Senate race, Georgia State Appeals Court and the Public Service Commission's District 4.
Matt Carrothers with the Secretary of State's office says it's tough to predict turnout numbers in this runoff:
“Historically, turnout is lower in a runoff election. However, this is a unique situation with being in both a presidential election year, and with a us senate race, two other statewide races – we could have higher than usual [turnout].”Click here for more GPB News coverage of the state races.
