MACON, Ga. People in Bibb County can now cast their votes in the Jan. 2021 runoff election this Saturday.
Late Thursday afternoon, the Bibb County Board of Elections voted 4-1 to add a Saturday voting day.
That means early voting will run from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at all three early voting locations in Bibb on Saturday, Dec. 19.
Thursday’s vote comes after voting rights groups filed lawsuits against Bibb, Clarke, Houston and Paulding counties for not offering early voting on a Saturday in the runoff.
