The runoff elections: What to know

Voters across Georgia will return to the polls today for runoff elections that will determine which candidates for governor, Congress and other offices advance to the Nov. 6 general election.

Runoffs are required in Georgia for races in which no candidate won more than 50 percent of the vote in the May 22 primary election.

How to vote in Georgia’s primaries

Election hours: Polling places are open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday for the Republican Party and Democratic Party primary runoffs.

Where to vote on Election Day: Look up your voting informatio­n and view sample ballots on www.mvp.sos.ga.gov or through the GA SOS app for Apple and Android cellphones.

Who can vote: Any registered voter in Georgia can vote in the runoff election. Georgia has open primaries, which means voters can choose either party’s ballot without having to register with that party. However, if you voted in one party’s primary May 22, you must vote in that runoff Tuesday. Voters who didn’t vote in May can vote in either runoff.

Voter ID: Bring photo identifica­tion, such as a Georgia driver’s license, a state-issued voter identifica­tion card, a valid U.S. passport or a valid U.S. military photo ID.

What’s next

The winners of the primary election runoffs — along with candidates who won a majority in the May 22 primary election — will compete in the general election Nov. 6. The general election will include nominees from the Democratic, Republican and Libertaria­n parties.
