Early voting opens for Georgia primary elections
Voters across Georgia are casting early ballots for this year's primary election, which features races for governor, the U.S. Congress and the state Legislature.
Advance in-person voting started April 30 and lasts for the three weeks before the May 22 primary. Some counties offer early voting on weekends.
Early voting is available to all registered voters at polling places designated by each county. Voters must report to their regular precincts if they wait to vote on Election Day.
Primary election runoffs will be held July 24, and the general election is Nov. 6.
