Advance voting tomorrow in Ga. primary runoff

Advance voting begins on Monday for Georgia's primary runoff.

Georgians can vote in the runoff whether they cast a ballot in the July 15th primary or not. Voters who did participate in the primary and selected either a Democratic or Republican party ballot can only vote on the same party ballot in the runoff.

The biggest race in the Aug. 5 runoff is the Democratic U.S. Senate contest between DeKalb County Chief Executive Officer Vernon Jones and former state lawmaker Jim Martin.

Georgia Secretary of State Karen Handel reminded voters to bring a photo ID to the polls.

Advance in-person voting ends Friday, Aug. 1. Georgians also have until Friday to request an absentee ballot. Absentee ballots must be received by election day.
