The Georgia Primary is today. If you're registered to vote, go out and do your civic duty. If you haven't been paying too much attention, here's some nuts and bolts info.
What: The Georgia Primary.
When: 7am - 7pm Tuesday, July 31.
Where to vote: If you don't know, go to the "My Voter Page" part of the Georgia Secretary of State webpage.
The big issue: The regional transportation referendum, sometimes called T-SPLOST. A penny sales tax would pay for transportation projects that benefit the 10-county metro area. The North Druid Hills-Briarcliff area is also slated to receive some of their own projects.
Also to be decided: Republicans and Democrats are picking candidates for the November general election for several DeKalb County offices, including county commission; judgeships; state offices, including the General Assembly; and the U.S. House of Representatives. Several school board members are up for re-election, and voters will consider a ballot question about cell phone towers on government property throughout the county.
Sample ballots: Patch posted sample ballots recently.
If a runoff is needed: You'll back to the polls Aug. 21.
Redistricting: The legislature changed the boundaries for some congressional and state House and Senate districts. To find out if you were affected, go back to the "My Voter Page" part of the Georgia Secretary of State webpage.
For information: Go to the DeKalb County Voter Registration and Elections webpage.
When you're through: Pat yourself on the back.
To find out the results: Check with Patch throughout the day.
