-Early voting in Georgia starting today, and Richmond County opened the Bell Auditorium in anticipation of a large number of votes... They were right.

When the door opened at 8:30 in the morning, the line had been around the James Brown Arena.

Voters say it is progressing very quickly but remains stable.

Voter Teresa Price said: “I will be here rain or shine. So, I have my lawn chair, I have a raincoat and a face mask.”

The price is ready. Together with her photo ID, this is all she needs... It may not be a lawn chair, but even if there are long lines and some people wait an hour, they still start to exercise their rights...and they all have their own reasons.

Voters, Paul T. Sylas said: "My ancestors fought, marched, sang, beaten."

The family ties interrupted by the pandemic voted for Price.

Price said: "I just want to see my mother in New York again. They have been hit hard. What makes me proud is that the leaders of the state closed their city."

The Election Committee has set up 50 machines internally to maintain social distancing from each other. Executive director Lynn Bailey estimated that 9,000 people voted. It's today

"If you are willing to participate in this general election, we will be full of vitality and become a community, a country. I think what we see today is a testament to this energy," Bailey said.

Price said: "I am proud of the city of Augusta. Very proud."

The door opens in the Bell Auditorium from Monday to Friday from 8:30 to 5:00.

Here are the dates, times and locations of the early voting in Richmond County:

You can go to Georgia Secretary of State"

"Page. It also provides you with driving directions and sample ballots.

-Today is the first day of early voting in Georgia. With the new guidelines, the Richmond County Election Commission predicts that this process may be slow. Therefore, they were established in Bell Auditorium.

They installed at this location, which can accommodate 50 machines to achieve social distancing, and hope to speed up the process as much as possible.

The pollster will sit there on the plexiglass shield. All you need is a photo ID and face covering.

Voters who want absent ballots must vote. I suggest you call.

It is also recommended that you vote as early as possible because election day will look different.

Lynn Bailey, director of the Richmond County Election Commission, said: "On Election Day, you are targeting a specific area, so you can’t do what you want. I mean you can, but it will slow you down because you will step aside and Voting for provisional ballots will slow you down and everyone behind you. Again, I think this can be traced back to being a good citizen, knowing where you vote, and then going there to vote on election day."

There are many things on the ballot. If you choose not to participate, you do not need to vote for each game.

This year is a rare occasion for two U.S. Senators to vote. Of course, there is a presidential campaign.

You do not have to vote with candidates who match your party. If you change your mind, it is recommended to call the election committee and cancel.

"If you go to the polling station without canceling the ballot, or if you do not bring the ballot to the polling station for trading, then you will have to retreat to the second line," Bailey said. "We are going to call our office because we have to resolve a ballot we have sent you before we can put you in the polling station and vote again. I mean it makes sense."

On election day, you must vote in your local electoral district.
