Warnock vs. Walker: Here’s how you can vote early in the senate runoff election.

Election Day for Georgia midterms was yesterday and it looks as if the senate race is too close to call.

Raphael Warnock and Herschel Walker will likely go head-to-head once again in a runoff election on Dec. 6.

Why is there a runoff election?

According to Georgia law, if neither candidate gets more than 50% of the vote, then the top two candidates must participate in the runoff election.

This gives voters another chance to secure their vote between two candidates.

Other states that have runoff elections are Alabama, Arkansas, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas and Vermont.

How can I vote early in the runoff election?

If you are a resident in Georgia and a registered voter in the state, you can participate in early voting for the runoff election.

The election is open to any Georgia voter who registered before the Nov. 7 cutoff — even if you didn’t vote in the on Nov. 8. You can always check your voter status on the secretary of state’s website.

Early voting begins Monday, Nov. 28 and runoff election day will be held on Tuesday, Dec. 6.

You can request an absentee ballot online, by emailing your county board of registrars office, by mail, by fax or in person. The process for any of these options starts with downloading and printing the absentee ballot application.

To complete the process by email, complete the absentee ballot application and provide contact information under “voter details.” Enter your Georgia driver’s license number or state ID and scan a digital copy of it. Email the application and copy of ID to your local county board of registrars office.

To mail or fax the application and copy of identification, look up your county board of registrars office contact information online. To submit the information in person, fill out the downloaded application and bring acceptable photo identification to your county board of registrars office.

If you requested an absentee ballot for the initial election and checked that you are elderly, disabled or voting from overseas, you should automatically receive a ballot for this election as well.
