Advance voting for the May 19, 2026 General Primary and Nonpartisan General Election is set to begin soon in Chattooga County, with important dates and details now finalized for local voters.

Early voting will run from April 27 through May 15 at the Chattooga County Registrars Office, located at 10017 Commerce Street in Summerville. Poll hours will be 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturdays.

Officials remind voters that a government-issued photo ID is required to cast a ballot. The voter registration deadline for this election is April 20, 2026.

When checking in to vote, residents will be asked to choose between a Democratic, Republican, or Nonpartisan ballot. Election officials encourage voters to review sample ballots ahead of time to better understand their choices. Sample ballots are available at the Registrars Office and online through the Georgia Secretary of State’s My Voter Page.

Additionally, officials note that following the April 7 Special Runoff, incumbency status was added to two candidates’ names in official records. However, that designation will not appear on printed ballots due to timing after ballots were finalized.

Voters are encouraged to plan ahead and take advantage of early voting opportunities.
