The second week of early voting for the Jan. 5, 2021 runoff is underway today across the state, but it's a short week for casting ballots for Georgia's two U.S. Senate seats.

In Hall County, the four early polling places will be closed on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. There is no Saturday voting for the early voting period for the runoff.

As of last week, 13,516 voters had cast ballots in Hall County, according to numbers supplied by the Hall County Elections Office. That's almost 10% of Hall County's eligible voters. The Georgia Secretary of State's office reports a statewide turnout of 1.1 million voters during the first week of early voting, which is on par with the early vote turnout for the General Election in November.
