Chatham County has added a Saturday and Sunday, Nov. 26 and Nov. 27, to the early voting days before the Dec. 6 runoff for Georgia’s US Senate seat. The state only mandates 5 weekdays before the election.

A judge ruled Friday that the runoff was not part of the law that prohibits voting within two days of a holiday. In a statement, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger said the state would appeal the ruling.

Saturday voting will be at one location, the Board of Elections office at 1117 Eisenhower Dr., Suite E. Two locations will be open on Sunday, The early weekend voting locations are limited, because the non-county buildings are closed, according to Chatham County Board of Registrars chair Colin McRae. Five locations will be open from Nov. 28-Dec. 2. The main board office will be open later until 7 p.m., Nov. 27-Dec. 2.

Absentee ballot requests may be made now through Nov. 28 online or in person at the elections office, 1117 Eisenhower Dr. Suite E. Completed absentee ballots must be returned no later than 7 p.m. on Dec. 6 to the elections office.

Advance voting could not begin before the state has certified the Nov. 8 election, which must be done by Nov. 21. Any eligible registered Chatham County voter desiring to vote in advance during this early period may do so in-person. No reason is required.
