Absentee
ballots delayed
Fayette County absentee
ballots, along with many across the state, have been delayed. Although
all other statewide election votes will be cast using the new electronic
voting units, absentee ballots will be paper as in the past. Per the
Secretary of State Press Office representative, Cara Hodgson, redistricting,
the pushed-back election dates and two legislative recounts have resulted
in the delays. Georgia Election Code states that absentee ballots must
be available 45 days prior to the election. Counties should have had
the completed ballots on September 21st to be in compliance. However,
many, like Fayette County, did not receive ballot proofs until this
week. Once received the County has 24-hours to review and send to the
printer if correct.
