Take Time to Vote Tuesday

“V-Day” has finally arrived. Today (July 31) is the day to vote in the Primary for your favorite candidate in national, state and local races, cast a “yes” or “no” vote for TSPLOST, and answer some non-binding questions posed by the Democratic and Republican parties on current issues.

Some candidates will emerge winners after the Primary votes are tallied. Others will face runoffs. And still others won’t know if they will assume office until after the Nov. 6 General Election and runoffs.

It’s important to vote to have a say-so in how government is run. Polls open at 7 a.m. and close at 7 p.m. Plan your day to allow time to vote.

If you’re sure for whom to vote or where to vote, registered voters can obtain sample ballots and their polling precincts by visiting the Georgia Secretary of State's My Voter Page (MVP). You can also check your voter registration status.

And don’t forget to bring our photo ID to your polling place. Here are the acceptable forms of identification:

• A Georgia driver’s license, even if expired
• A valid state or federal government issued photo ID, including one issued by the Department of Driver Services or your county registrar’s office
• Valid U.S. passport
• Valid U.S. military photo ID
• Valid tribal photo ID
• Valid employee photo ID from any branch, department, agency, or entity of the U.S. Government, Georgia, or any county, municipality, board, authority, or other entity in the state.
