Early Voting Well Underway

Although Election Day is not for another three weeks, many citizens have already cast their vote.

Early voting began yesterday, and Tammy Whitmire with the Rabun County Elections Office says that nearly four hundred people have already voted early, plus over 250 absentee ballots that have been mailed in.

For those who are interested, Whitmire explains the details of voting early.

“We are extending the voting hours for this election, so we’ll be open from 7:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.,” said Whitmire. “We’ll be open Monday through Friday until November 2nd.”

Also, a Saturday voting day will be held on October 27th.

Citizens need to bring a valid photo ID to the polls in order to vote.
