Georgians go the polls Tuesday to decide a host of runoffs left over from the May 22 General Election Primaries.
Topping the ballots will be Republican runoffs for Governor, Lt. Governor and Secretary of State and a Democratic runoff for State Schools Superintendent. In some places, there will be runoffs for local offices. However, in Hall County, there are no local runoffs.
Lori Wurtz, who is in charge of the elections office in Hall County, notes that even if you did not vote in the primaries May 22, but were eligible to do so, you may vote Tuesday; if you voted a non-partisan ballot the first time around, you may vote in the runoff. However, if you voted in either the Democratic or Republican Primary May 22, you cannot change parties if you vote this time.
Sample ballots and other election information, such as polling places, are available on the Hall County Elections Office website.
Lt. Governor Casey Cagle, a Hall County native who still calls Hall County home, plans to vote along with members of his family at 7:00 Tuesday morning at Chestnut Mountain Presbyterian Church. He's expected to come off the campaign trail Monday night, planning to arrive a Lee Gilmer Memorial Airport in Gainesville between 7:15 and 7:45, following a daylong fly-around of the state.
Just in the last week, Cagle and his opponent, Georgia Secretary of State Brian Kemp, have picked up key endorsements. A week ago, incoming NRA president Oliver North appeared with Cagle at a campaign rally in Gainesville and during the week, Gov. Nathan Deal, who is barred by state law from seeking another term, endorsed Cagle, and President Trump endorsed Kemp. Vice President Mike Pence was with Kemp at a rally in Macon Saturday.
