Runoff Election is Dec. 1

Early Voting Is Underway

Two runoff elections are currently underway. It is very important that you request a ballot for BOTH elections regardless of party affiliation. They will not automatically give you a ballot with both races. You have to request a ballot for the Congressional runoff and the runoff for State Senate District 39.

The first election is to temporarily fill Congressman Lewis unexpired term through the end of 2020. Former City Councilman Kwanzaa Hall (D) and former Morehouse President Robert Franklin (D) are in the runoff. The winner will serve maybe 2-3 weeks before our former State Senator, Nikema Williams (D), is sworn in for a full term in January 2021.

The second runoff election is to fill State Senator Nikema Williams' seat in the Georgia State Senate. Sonya Halpern (D) is running against Linda Pritchett (D).  

Early voting for the December 1, 2020 Runoff Election begins on November 9, 2020.

Absentee Voting

Georgia law allows residents to vote by absentee ballot, sometimes known as voting by mail.

Residents can download an Absentee Ballot Application and upload it through the Fulton Absentee Portal as a .pdf or .jpg between 1MB and 5 MB. Each submission must have only one application. 

Residents can also return an absentee ballot application (e.g., by email, fax, postal mail, or dropbox) or make a written request.
