August Run-off Today

The August run-off is here.

Tammy Whitmire with the Rabun County Election Office said the polls opened up first thing Tuesday morning.

“The polls opened up at 7 a.m. and will remain open until 7 p.m.,” said Whitmire.

The only race on the ballot is the 9th District U.S. Congressional race between Doug Collins and Martha Zoller. That race is on the republican ticket.

Those who are eligible to vote in the run-off include those who voted on the republican ticket in the July primary, those who voted non-partisan in the primary, and those who did not vote in July.

As the race is on the republican ticket, those who voted on the democratic ticket in the primary are not eligible to vote in the August run-off.
