For most absentee voters, counties can begin mailing ballots October 5. Completed absentee ballots must be received by election officials by 7 PM on Election Day, Tuesday, November 3. Military and overseas voters are subject to different deadlines.

Another important date arrived this weekend.

Voters can also access their sample ballot and other personalized election information through Georgia’s My Voter Page.

The November ballot will include the General Election along with local and state questions and races applicable to Chattooga County voters.
