Voters take to the polls Tuesday for Special Election

Rabunites will take to the polls Tuesday to determine the special-purpose local-option sales tax projects and one council seat for Sky Valley.

According to Elections Supervisor Tammy Whitmire, Rabun County currently has one polling place, the Rabun County Civic Center, located at 201 West Savannah Street in Clayton, Georgia. This is the location where votes are to be cast on election day.

Whitmire said for voters on election day, the polling place will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. which will give the public ample time to cast their vote.

With an expected high rate of foot traffic, Whitmire said it is important for people to keep in mind to bring a photo I.D, whether it be a passport or driver’s license.

If residents have received an absentee ballot, it’s not too late to send them in. Just make sure to have them into the Board of Election’s Office by 7 p.m. on election day.
