DECATUR, Ga.–DeKalb County Voter Registration and Elections (DeKalb VRE) announced an additional day of advance voting for the December 6 General Election Runoff following an order by Fulton County Superior Court.

“Given the accelerated timeline of the runoff, we are gratified that the courts ruled in favor of voters and ensuring the greatest access possible to participate in the election,” said DeKalb Board of Registration and Elections Chair Dele Lowman Smith. “We ask voters to bring an extra helping of patience and gratitude to the polls as our staff and poll workers are working through the holiday to carry out the runoff.”
