Early voting underway in Georgia
Voting

Early voting for run-off elections in Georgia began Monday, and will end at 5 p.m. July 20.

Voters can vote in advance from 8 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday through Friday at the Bryan County Commissioners meeting rooms at the Courthouse in Pembroke and at the South Bryan Administration Building on Capt. Matthew Freeman Drive.

There is no Saturday voting or advance voting at J.F. Gregory Park.

There is no voting on July 4, because government offices are closed in observation of the Independence Day holiday. Advance voting resumes Thursday. Election day for run-off races is July 24. Polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.

In the governor’s Republican primary run-off, Lieutenant Gov. Casey Cagle and Secretary of State Brian Kemp will face off.

Former state House Minority Leader Stacey Abrams (D) will face the Republican primary winner in the general election on Nov. 6, according to ballotpedia.org. The winner will replace outgoing Gov. Nathan Deal (R), who served two terms. 

Republicans will also have run-off contests for lieutenant governor and secretary of state.

Republicans and democrats will have runoffs for state house seats elsewhere across the state.

Georgians who’ve already voted in the primary can only vote in the same party’s run-off. Those who didn’t vote or voted non-partisan, you can vote in either political party run-off.

Bryan County Commissioners on Tuesday night deferred a decision on whether to rezone some 3.8 acres near the historic Burnt Church Cemetery to allow a Parker’s Kitchen convenience store. The vote to defer the decision for 30 days to look into concerns raised by opponents to the project came after several residents – including parents of children buried in the 195-year-old cemetery – urged commissioners to deny the rezoning.
