EDITORIAL: Soon the spotlight will be on Georgia and Alabama as the
presidential campaigns come to town. If you're planning to play a part in
selecting our next president, we have some useful information for you.
Georgia's primary is
only six weeks away on Tuesday March 6th with Alabama only a week later
on March 13th.
If you're not registered and want to vote, you have until
next Tuesday February 6th in Georgia and Friday March 2nd in Alabama.
Also, absentee ballots are due, either in the mail or in
person to your county elections board, on the days of the elections.
The polls are open from 7am-to-7pm in your respective
Eastern and Central time zones.
And most importantly for everyone, these are open primaries
in both states, so you can vote for your top candidate from either party - but
not both parties -- whether you're a registered republican or democrat.
For additional information, including absentee ballots for
the military, go to WTVM.com.
