Election Day Voting
Earlier this year many Fulton County polling places changed as a result of COVID-19. We are working to add more locations to help reduce crowding. Election Day voting locations have changed for many voters for the August 11 Election.

All Fulton County voters should check the GEORGIA MY VOTER PAGE  before going to the polls on Election Day.

About Partisan Primary Runoff Elections
The August 11 Election is a General Primary Runoff, Non-Partisan General Runoff, and Special Runoff Election for Local and State Offices. 

During the August 11 runoff election, voters will be given the ballot of whichever party they selected during the June 9 Primary election. 

During this election, there are no Republican runoff races. For that reason, the Republican Ballot and Nonpartisan ballot will have the same races.

Voters who did not vote in the June 9 Primary Election are eligible to vote in the runoff, and may select the party of their preference at the time they vote.
