Today is the final day to request an absentee ballot

Today is the final day to request an absentee ballot application for the upcoming General Primary Election.

According to Stephens County Election Supervisor Krista Terry, absentee ballot applications can be requested by calling 706-886-8954.

All absentee ballots are due back to the Elections Office no later than 7 p.m. on Tuesday, May 24.

There is an absentee ballot drop box located inside the historic courthouse.

Terry says in The Toccoa Record the deadline to request an absentee ballot was listed as May 20th; however, that is incorrect. The final date to request an absentee ballot is today, May 13.

Additionally, Terry says the Elections Office is in need of poll workers and volunteers.

Those interested in volunteering can call the elections office for more information.

For questions regarding the upcoming election contact Terry by calling 706-886-8954.
