UPDATED: Saturday voting takes place across Georgia

Posted 4:00PM on Saturday 29th October 2016 ( 8 years ago )

Long lines seem to be the order of the day in some polling locations for Georgia's mandated Saturday voting day for the upcoming General Election.

All Georgia counties must have at least one polling location open for voters to cast ballots on October 29. Voting times vary from county to county, so voters should check with individual elections offices before making the trip to vote.

In Hall County, for example, there are four precincts open - all until 4 p.m.  At noon, the parking lots at the Hall County Government Center, one of the four locations in the county, were almost full - and a steady stream of voters was moving in and out of the building.   You can check your county's Saturday voting locations and times with the Secretary of State's office.  

Early voting continues next week, Monday through Friday, across the state. 

If you'd like to share photos from your precinct, send them to [email protected]. Remember, though, no selfies in the voting booth! That's against state voting regulations
