ZEBULON - There is a state-wide runoff on Tuesday, December 6 between Republican Herschel Walker and Incumbent Democrat Ralph Warnock. Here is the information that you need to know about the upcoming election.
You can start requesting applications for voting absentee by mail. Please note: If you voted absentee by mail in the November election AND you checked the box on the back to send an absentee ballot by mail in case of a runoff, you do NOT have to request to a ballot because it will be sent as soon as the ballots are received and sent out by the Registrar’s Office. If you are not sure whether you checked off the box, please call (770) 567-2003 and ask the staff to verify this information for you.
The absentee ballot box is located inside of the Board of Elections office located at 81 Jackson Street in Zebulon. Board of Elections Supervisor David Neyheart advised by phone today that absentee ballots should go out sometime next week.
