After Thursday, voters who want to cast a ballot in person have to vote at their assigned precinct on Election Day Jan 5.
Voters who requested an absentee ballot can return their ballot at one of Gwinnett’s 23 drop boxes before 7 p.m. on Jan. 5. A full list of the drop box locations is available online. They are monitored by cameras 24 hours a day.
Voters can find their assigned precinct or check the status of their absentee ballot at www.mvp.sos.ga.gov.
As of Tuesday, over 200,000 people in Gwinnett had already voted early, either in-person or via absentee ballot.
While runoffs are typically low-turnout elections, voters are expected to be more engaged than usual because both of Georgia’s U.S. Senate seats are up for grabs.
The Jan. 5 runoff includes races between U.S. Sen. David Perdue and Democrat Jon Ossoff; U.S. Sen. Kelly Loeffler and Democrat Rev. Raphael Warnock; and Public Service Commissioner Bubba McDonald and Democratic challenger Daniel Blackman. All three incumbents are Republicans.
The three races are subject to runoffs because no candidate received more than 50% of the vote. Georgia’s Senate races will determine the balance of the U.S. Senate.
