Oconee County Election Board Considering Adding Second Early Voting Site To Increase Voter Turnout Heading Into May Primaries

***Final Decision Likely In February***

The Oconee County Board of Elections and Registration decided on Monday to explore adding a second venue for early voting in the May 19 Party Primary Elections to increase turnout in the Oconee Northeast Precinct, which includes Bogart.

Board Chair Jay Hanley said he had been approached by candidates who are running for House District 120 and are concerned about turnout in the Northeast Precinct, which falls in that District.
