If you are one of the 520,000 Fulton County voters who just voted and was missing flexing your civic power, there might be some good news for you.
Early voting began Monday in the contest to determine who will fill the remaining roughly month of the 5th District seat left open by the July death of Civil Rights icon Rep. John Lewis. His seat covers portions of Fulton, DeKalb and Clayton counties. (Check here to find out your district.)
Former Morehouse College president Robert Franklin is facing former Atlanta city councilman Kwanzaa Hall, with the winner to serve in Congress for just a few weeks.
State Sen. Nikema Williams chose not to run in this special election. But she did replace Lewis on last week’s ballot and was elected to be the next full-term representative from the 5th District.
This election will not include the attention-grabbing double Congressional contest.
For Lewis’ seat, if voters would rather not wait until the Dec. 1 Election Day, below are the early voting locations:
Sites will be open weekdays from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. until Nov. 25 and on Saturday, Nov. 21, 2020 during the same hours. But polls will be closed on Wednesday, Nov. 11, for Veterans Day holiday.
