Anyone wanting to early/advance vote in the primary election has until 4:30 p.m. Friday, July 27 to cast their in-person ballot at one of the county’s five early voting sites.
Barbara Berry, the county’s supervisor of elections, said advance voting can be done at the Chickamauga, Rossville, Fairyland and Rock Spring polling places as well as at the County Courthouse.
No one can vote on the Monday before an election day except those with mail-in absentee ballots, she said.
Those mail-in absentee ballots should be returned as soon as possible, Berry added. That is because state law states that any ballot not received by 5 p.m. at the post office or hand-delivered before 7 p.m. to the Board of Elections Office on election day cannot be counted.
Because this is the first election since districts were redrawn after Census 2010, there are a few changes.
