The 2010 General
Election is of major signifi
cance with choices to be
made on seats ranging from
the U.S. Senate, U. S. House
of Representatives,
Governor, numerous
statewide offices, and many
local district offices ranging
from State Senate down to
some local Board of
Education seats.
Chatham County races
are very competitive this
Election as eight of the ten
local partisan districts are
contested. Follow the cam
paigns and candidate infor
mation and consider your
choices prior to coming in to
vote. In addition to your
choice of candidates, there
will be five proposed consti
tutional amendments and one
state-wide referendum ques
tion on the ballot. Sample
ballots are made available 45
days prior to the Election and
may be accessed online at
www.sos.georgia.gov/mvp.
This My Voter Page (MVP)
website is an invaluable tool
which can provide informa
tion on voter registration sta
tus, poll locations, elected
officials, early voting loca
tions, and track the status of
by-mail absentee ballots
applications. Sample ballots
may also be acquired locally
by contacting the Chatham
County Board of Elections at
912-201-4375.
According to the U.S.
Census, the most common
reason people give for not
voting is that they were busy
or had conflicting work or
school schedules. With the
convenience of
early/advance/by mail absen
tee voting period there
should be no excuse not to
exercise your valued free
dom to cast a ballot in the
selection of our political can
didates.
Your voice - your
choice: Vote. Please feel
free to contact the Voter
Registration office at 912-
790-1520 or email
voter@chathamcounty.org
for any inquiries concerning
absentee early/advance/by
mail voting.
