Rabun County has District’s Highest Turnout

The District 8 House Runoff Election has come and gone, and many Rabun County residents exercised their right to vote during the three week early voting period, as well as election day itself. Speaking with Jane Thomason, Assistant to Board of Elections Supervisor Tammy Whitmire, she says that Rabun County had the highest turnout of all counties in the 8th district.

2, 311, or 25% of registered voters voted in this election from Rabun County, with Union County coming in second with 1,964.

Now that the July runoff is complete, Thomason and the Board of Elections begin preparations for November’s election.
