Georgia voters heading to the polls for the November 3 General Election will be asked to decide three proposed amendments to the Georgia Constitution. The questions involve property tax treatment for agricultural land, how probate court judges are elected, and how the state funds emergency 911 services.

While the amendments will appear on ballots throughout Georgia, their potential effects could also be felt in Chattooga County, particularly among farmers, property owners and those who depend on local emergency services.

Early voting began Tuesday, October 13, and all advance voting in Chattooga County takes place at the Chattooga County Registrar’s Office in Summerville.
