Early voting for the November election will begin Monday and include one day of weekend voting.

“(Early voting) starts Monday at 8 a.m.,” said Spalding County Election Supervisor Terry Colling. “Same place we were in July and August, which is 819 Memorial Drive.”

This year, there are many races on the ballot — statewide races such as governor, lieutenant governor, U.S. Senator and attorney general and local races, like the Board of Education districts 1, 3 and 5.

This year’s early voting will feature voting on Oct. 23, a Saturday. The polls will be open from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

“We’re going to experiment,” Colling said. “We’ve never done it before and we’re going to see if there’s any interest in it.”

She said she expected turnout on Nov. 2 to be high, so voters who have already made up their minds should come out early.

Per Georgia law, photo identification is required to vote. Valid forms of ID include a Georgia driver’s license, any valid state or federal government-issued photo ID, a valid U.S. passport, a valid government employee photo ID, a valid U.S. military photo ID card or a valid tribal photo ID card.
