    1. Notice for DeKalb Co./City of Atlanta Voters: Important voter info for anyone who lives in the DeKalb County portion of the City of Atlanta: It is our understanding that electronic (standard) voting machines will only be used through 7:00 PM on Runoff Election Day. From 7:00 - 8:00 PM, DeKalb precincts in the City of Atlanta will only offer paper provisional ballots for City of Atlanta candidates only​. This is similar to what they did on Nov. 7, with all votes cast being counted in the final certified total. After 7:00 PM you will not be able to vote in the special election to fill Stacey Abrams' seat. 

      Please make your friends and neighbors who are DeKalb County/City of Atlanta residents aware of this. Share this information and consider re-posting it on your neighborhood and organizational networks.
