Today is Tuesday, Sept. 29, and the polls are open from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. for registered voters to choose who will finish the final weeks of the late Rep. John Lewis’ Congressional term. We’ve provided a candidate guide for you to do your own research on the candidates. Whoever wins 50% plus 1 vote today (or, if necessary, a runoff) will represent the Fifth Congressional District of Georgia until Jan. 3, 2020 during a brief but pivotal moment in U.S. history.
Here is a list of polling places in Clayton County from the Board of Elections and Registration for this special election only. Be sure to visit the Georgia Secretary of State’s My Voter Page at https://www.mvp.sos.ga.gov/MVP/mvp.do and enter your first initial, last name, county, and birthdate to double-check your current polling place.
