TIFTON — Tift County voters, like others around the state, can cast their ballots early and avoid going to the polls for the Nov. 2 general election. Several local races will be decided as well as several state races being sought by local candidates.

Early voting began Friday in some Georgia counties and in Tift County Tuesday. Election Central, which is located in the old high school gymnasium building at Fourth Street and Chesnutt Avenue, is the only precinct open for early voting. Registered Tift County voters can visit the voting location to cast their ballots from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. Monday through Friday through Oct. 29.

Jean Edwards, who is the supervisor of Tift County elections, said Tuesday that anyone who needs a ballot mailed to them should call her office at 386-7915.

Also, anyone who needs to register to vote or change voter status — such as their address — needs to do so by the end of the day Oct. 4.
