It's once again time to hit the polls to decide on some big positions and decisions.

Georgia's General Primary and Nonpartisan Elections kick off with early voting April 29, and there are several Augusta-area seats up for re-election.

Early voting runs on weekdays through May 17 with Saturday voting scheduled for May 4 and 11. Election Day is May 21 and, if a runoff becomes necessary, it will be June 18.

Polls in Richmond County will be open 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the Augusta-Richmond County Municipal Building at 535 Telfair St., the Charles Evans Community Center at 1866 Highland Ave., the Robert Howard Community Center at 103 Diamond Lakes Way, and the Warren Road Recreation Center at 300 Warren Rd.

Polls in Columbia County will be open 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Building G3 of the Evans Government Complex at 610 Ronald Reagan Dr. and at the former Euchee Creek Library in Grovetown at 5907 Euchee Creek Dr.

Richmond County offices up for grabs include five Augusta Commission seats, one judge's seat on Augusta's Superior Court, sheriff, district attorney, and the District 12 seat on the U.S. House of Representatives. Augusta voters will also decide if the mayor should get an equal vote to the Augusta Commissioners rather than just a tie-breaker vote.

Columbia County offices up for grabs include coroner, two county commission seats, and one school board seat.

While there are other local seats up for election, they only have one incumbent.
