Georgia Senate Runoff: Candidates, Voting In Forsyth County

CUMMING, GA — Georgians will decide on Tuesday 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.

Election Day

Polls will be open 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.

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.
