Early voting continues in Warnock-Walker runoff
vote

Early voting for the U.S. Senate runoff between Democrat incumbent Rev. Raphael Warnock and Republican challenger Herschel Walker runs through Friday.

Early voting is taking place at the Liberty County Elections Office at 100 Main Street, Suite 1600 in Hinesville and at the East End Complex at 9397 E. Oglethorpe Highway in Midway.

Ballots may be cast at both locations from 8 a.m.-5 p.m. Wednesday and Thursday and Friday from 7 a.m.-7 p.m.

Friday will be the last day for early voting. Polls at precincts will be open Tuesday, December 6 from 7 a.m.-7 p.m.

Neither Warnock nor Walker garnered a majority of the votes in November’s general election, meaning a runoff election is needed. Warnock received nearly 1.95 million votes, or 49.44%, and Walker garnered nearly 1.91 million votes, 48.49% of the votes cast in the state.

Warnock won the seat in a January 2021 runoff against then-Sen. Kelly Loeffler, who had been appointed to fill the seat vacated when Johnny Isakson resigned for health reasons.
