Voters to decide Georgia primary runoffs Tuesday | savannahnow.com

Some 393 poll workers will be on hand as 89 polls across the county are scheduled to be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.

There will be 157 fewer poll workers than worked the May 20 primaries, but Chatham County Elections Supervisor Russell Bridges told elections board members last week he expects just 10-15 percent voter turnout.

“It may be higher,” Bridges said.

Activity has been busier than what is typical for a normal summer runoff, he said. But at 23 percent, he said, May’s primary turnout was low, though not exceptionally low.

The primary, which is typically held in July, was moved up to May this year.

By Friday morning, just 4,160 (not including 1,137 absentee ballots mailed), or 3.2 percent, of Chatham County’s 129,463 registered voters participated in early voting, which

ended Friday. Poll workers at the Savannah Civic Center, one of four early voting sites, estimated that only 60 people had voted there last week.
