Voters in Georgia have an extra item on their to-do list this holiday season – voting in runoff elections that will decide control of the U.S. Senate, as well as a seat on Georgia’s Public Service Commission.
With less than two weeks before the runoffs, political organizers are trying to make sure every last person is reminded to vote, despite the distraction of the holidays, and it seems to be working.
Although turnout is often considerably lower for a runoff than a general election, this year early voting for the runoffs is almost keeping pace with early voting before the Nov. 3 election. Almost 1.9 million people have already voted early ahead of the Jan. 5 runoffs, compared with around 2 million at this point in the general election, according to Georgiavotes.com.
