There's never been a Georgia primary like this before.

Record numbers of people are mailing absentee ballots during the coronavirus pandemic.

Other voters prefer voting in person, where social distancing requirements have led to lines of early voters waiting to try out Georgia's new voting system.

The changes have left many voters asking how the election will work and whether their votes will count.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution's Mark Niesse will be answering questions about the election during a Reddit AMA, which stands for "ask me anything."

You can email questions in advance to mark.niesse@ajc.com.

The AMA is scheduled for 12:30 p.m. on Thursday. Join the discussion by clicking here.
