Canton Early Voting Locations Open Monday

CANTON, GA — Early voting begins Monday for the Jan. 5, 2021 runoff election for Georgia's two senate seats. Voters can submit absentee ballots through early voting locations, mail and drop boxes.

Georgians will decide on both U.S. Senate seats after the Republican incumbents, David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler, failed to gather the majority of the general election votes last month. They will face Democrats Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock.

Early Voting Hours

The Cherokee County Elections and Voter Registration office will open several locations this December for residents to vote ahead of Election Day.

Early voting will be held at three locations:

• Cherokee County Elections Office, 2782 Marietta Highway, Suite 100, in Canton
• Former Cherokee County Elections Office, 400 East Main St., in Canton
• South Cherokee Annex Building, 7545 Main St., in Woodstock

The Elections Office relocated to the Marietta Highway location in late August.

Weekday early voting will be held from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. on:

• Dec. 14 - 18
• Dec. 19
• Dec. 21 - 23
• Dec. 29 - 31

The offices will be closed for voting from Dec. 24 - 25, and Dec. 28- Jan. 1.

Absentee Voting

A secure drop-off box is an option for returning absentee ballots for Canton voters during the early voting period.

Ballot boxes can be found in Canton at:

• 2782 Marietta Highway, Suite 100, in Canton
• 7545 Main St. in Woodstock at the South Cherokee Annex Recreation Center
• 400 East Main St, Canton, GA 30114

All drop boxes are checked daily, are monitored by video cameras for security and are available 24 hours a day.

Preparing for Election Day

Polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Election Day, Nov. 3. If you are in line by 7 p.m., you are allowed to cast your ballot.

On Election Day, you must vote at your designated polling place. You can find your assigned polling location on your voter registration card, by logging into the Secretary of State's My Voter Page, or by contacting your County Board of Registrar's Office.

When you get to your polling place, show your photo ID to the poll worker. A poll worker will check your photo ID, verify that you are registered and at the correct polling location, issue you a voter access card or ballot, whichever is applicable, and allow you to vote.
