If you vote in Rock Spring, be aware of a change for the upcoming Public Service Commissioner Special Election on June 17th. Voting will take place in the 600 Building at Georgia Northwestern Technical College, rather than the usual location in the 500 Building. This change is due to construction work taking place in the 500 Building this summer. For your convenience, voting has been moved just next door to the 600 Building. This location change may also apply if a runoff election is needed on July 15th. Be sure to mark your calendars and plan accordingly.
