Where, How You Can Vote In Atlanta For Georgia Senate Runoffs

ATLANTA, GA — The crucial Jan. 5 Senate runoff elections in Georgia are Tuesday, with millions of voters having already casted their ballots early, by mail or by absentee ballot drop boxes.

Voters in Atlanta and across the state will decide on races for U.S. Senate seats — and in turn, which political party will be the Senate’s majority leader — between Democrats Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock, and Republican incumbent Sens. David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler, respectively.

Polls will be open statewide from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Election Day, Jan. 5. If you are in line by 7 p.m., you are allowed to cast your ballot.

For Election Day voting, you must report to your designated polling place in order to cast your ballot. You can find your polling location on your voter registration card, by logging into the Secretary of State’s My Voter Page or by calling your County Board of Registrar’s Office.

Bring your photo ID with you. Upon arrival, a poll worker will check your ID, verify that you are registered to vote and at the correct polling location, give you a voter access card or ballot, and allow you to vote.
