As the December 3, 2024, runoff election approaches across Georgia, the Georgia NAACP calls on all eligible voters to take part in this critical democratic process. Elections are not just about selecting leaders; they are about shaping the policies and priorities that impact our schools, neighborhoods, and the future of our state.
Runoff elections often see lower voter turnout, but their importance cannot be overstated. These contests frequently come down to just a few votes, highlighting the power of individual participation. Your voice matters, and your vote is essential.
Key Details About the Runoff Election:
- Election Day: Tuesday, December 3, 2024
- Poll Hours: 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM
- Polling Locations: Confirm your designated polling place at mvp.sos.ga.gov
Why This Election Matters:
Runoff elections finalize leadership in races that were too close to call during the general election. The outcomes will shape decisions on issues that directly affect Georgia residents, including education, housing, healthcare, economic development, and civil rights. This is our chance to ensure the voices of Georgia’s diverse communities are reflected in government.
Tips for a Smooth Voting Experience:
1. Check Your Voter Registration Status: Confirm your eligibility and verify your polling location at mvp.sos.ga.gov
2. Research the Ballot: Familiarize yourself with the candidates and any additional measures up for vote so you can make informed decisions.
3. Bring Proper Identification: Georgia law requires photo ID to vote. Acceptable forms include a Georgia driver’s license, state ID, U.S. passport, or other government-issued ID.
4. Consider Early Voting Options: If December 3 doesn’t work for you, take advantage of early voting or request an absentee ballot.
