Cherokee Tribune – Early voting for primary runoff begins Monday

Early voting begins Monday for the July 22 general primary runoff election, and Cherokee County voters have two local races and several state and federal elections to help decide.

Voter turnout is expected to be light, said Cherokee Elections Supervisor Janet Munda.

“In 2010, we had about a 16 percent turnout. I am hoping we will have that or greater,” she said Friday. Munda said the U.S. Senate runoff between Jack Kingston and David Purdue and the 11th District race for Congress, pitting Barry Loudermilk against Bob Barr, could bring more people out to the polls.

For the first week of early voting, the only location where voters can cast a ballot is the Cherokee Elections office in downtown Canton. Early voting will be Monday through Thursday, from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. The office will be closed July 4 for the holiday.

Early voting will continue Monday through Friday during the weeks of July 7 and July 14 at the Canton location.

Voting will again be from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day.
