Georgians continues to stream to the polls as voting winds down in a consequential midterm election.

Georgia voters are deciding who will be the state’s next governor and who will serve in numerous other statewide offices. They also may determine which party controls the U.S. Senate.

November 8, 2022 Fulton County: Voters check in on Tuesday, Nov. 8, 2022 at the Dunbar Neighborhood Center located at 477 Windsor Street SW in Atlanta. Voters hit the polls on Tuesday, Nov. 8, 2022 for Election Day that was expected to bring high turnout to over 2,400 polling places across Georgia, where voters will cast ballots on touchscreens that print out ballots. Then results will begin to pour in soon after polls close at 7 p.m. Tuesday. State law requires runoffs when no candidate receives over 50% of the vote, which can occur in races with Democratic, Libertarian and Republican candidates. According to last yearÕs voting law, runoffs would be held four weeks after Election Day, on Dec. 6. Previously, runoffs were scheduled nine weeks after Election Day.

The Secretary of State’s Office has reported a big turnout but short lines across Georgia.

Polls close at 7 p.m. In a few isolated cases – like two polling places in Cobb County – polling places may stay open a little longer.

Voters must report to their assigned voting locations and show photo ID. They can find their precinct locations and sample ballots through the state’s My Voter Page at mvp.sos.ga.gov.
