CARNESVILLE – Franklin County voters will be asked to go back to the polls Dec. 6 to decide who will be Georgia’s U.S. Senator.
The runoff election will be between incumbent Democrat U.S. Sen. Raphael Warnock and Republican challenger Herschel Walker.
In the Nov. 8 general election, Warnock received 49.44 percent of the statewide vote for the position, while Walker garnered 48.49 percent. Libertarian Chase Oliver received 2.07 percent.
Because neither Warnock nor Walker got more than 50 percent of the vote, which is required by Georgia law, the race was sent to a runoff.
The U.S. Senate race will be the only one on the ballot for the Dec. 6 runoff.
Any voter who was registered to vote by Nov. 7, whether they voted in the Nov. 8 election or not, may vote in the runoff.
Early voting for the runoff will be held Nov. 28 through Dec. 2 at the Franklin County Elections and Registration Office at 7850 Royston Road in Carnesville.
Times will be from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. on Nov. 28, 29, 30 and Dec. 1 and from 7 a.m. until 7 p.m. on Dec. 2.
