Early voting starts today in Walker County for the Democratic Special Primary Run-Off Election for Georgia’s Public Service Commission. Voters can cast their ballots this week at the Elections and Registration Office inside the Walker County Courthouse from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., now through Friday, July 11.
The run-off election will be held on Tuesday, July 15.
Because fewer than 1% of Walker County’s registered voters participated in the June Democratic primary, state law (O.C.G.A. § 21-2-270(3)) allows for only one polling location to be open on Election Day. That site will be:
LaFayette Senior Center
636 S. Main St.
LaFayette, GA 30728
This location serves the precinct where the county courthouse is located, as outlined by statute.
The Public Service Commission plays a vital role in overseeing and regulating Georgia’s utilities, including electricity and natural gas. Commissioners help shape energy policy and set utility rates that affect consumers across the state.
