Early voting: Almost 10% of Hall County voters have already cast ballots in U.S. Senate runoff

The second week of early voting for the Jan. 5, 2021 runoff is underway today across the state, but it's a short week for casting ballots for Georgia's two U.S. Senate seats.

In Hall County, the four early polling places will be closed on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. There is no Saturday voting for the early voting period for the runoff.

As of last week, 13,516 voters had cast ballots in Hall County, according to numbers supplied by the Hall County Elections Office. That's almost 10% of Hall County's eligible voters. The Georgia Secretary of State's office reports a statewide turnout of 1.1 million voters during the first week of early voting, which is on par with the early vote turnout for the General Election in November.

The old Turner, Wood & Smith Insurance building on Brenau Avenue in downtown Gainesville is one of four early polling places for Hall County. The parking lot was quiet on Sunday, but the polling place was busy the first five days of the advance voting period last week.
