ADVANCE VOTING FOR THE MAY 21, 2024 GENERAL PRIMARY WILL BEGIN MONDAY, APRIL 29, 2024 AND END ON FRIDAY, MAY 17, 2024 WITH SATURDAY VOTING ON MAY 4, 2024 AND MAY 11, 2024 FROM 8:00 AM. UNTIL 5:00 P.M. AT THE BOARD OF ELECTIONS OFFICE AT 41 FAIRGROUND ROAD NEXT TO THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. BRING A VALID PHOTO ID TO VOTE. 16 VOTING STATIONS HAVE BEEN SET UP, SO THERE SHOULD BE VERY LITTLE OR NO WAIT TIMES. THE BALLOTS ARE LENGTHY AND INCLUDE NON-BINDING QUESTIONS. REMEMBER, THIS IS A PRIMARY AND THE VOTER MUST CHOOSE AMONG THE DEMOCRAT, REPUBLICAN, AND NON-PARTISAN BALLOT. ONLY JUDGESHIPS ARE ON THE NON-PARTISAN BALLOT AND THOSE CANDIDATES ARE INCLUDED ON BOTH THE DEMOCRAT AND REPUBLICAN BALLOT, SO IF YOU SELECT THE NON-PARTISAN BALLOT YOU WILL NOT SEE THE LOCAL CONTESTED RACES ON THIS BALLOT. PLEASE MAKE VOTERS AWARE OF THIS CHOICE WHEN THEY SELECT THEIR BALLOT CHOICE. VOTERS CAN CHECK THEIR STATUS AT mvp.sos.ga.gov TO SEE WHERE THEY ARE REGISTERED TO VOTE, FIND THEIR POLLING LOCATION, TRACK THEIR ABSENTEE BALLOT, GET A SAMPLE BALLOT, ETC. THIS IS A VERY HELPFUL TOOL FOR THE VOTER.

It is very important that we find a place we could use as headquarters for the party. With the upcoming election, we need a place where we can gather and give information about the candidates and local issues as well as being able to sit and chat, maybe a cup of coffe as well. Please contact Dave Gossage at davegossage1@gmail.com. We will be posting our local representatives and who will be running for office.
