Early Voting Starts for March 17 Special Election*
Monday, February 23, 2026
Want to vote early for the March 17 special election? You can do that starting February 23! Skip the lines and cast your ballot ahead of Election Day.
* The following information only applies if Emanuel County does, indeed, have to call a special election:
Advance (or “early”) voting is available for those who want to vote early instead of waiting to vote the day of the March 17 special election. It begins February 23 and continues through the Friday before Election Day.
To vote early, you must report to the Emanuel County Elections Office. Polls are open 8 AM to 5 PM Monday through Friday during the early voting period, plus 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM on two Saturdays preceding Election Day: this Saturday, March 1, and next Saturday, March 8.
The Emanuel County Elections Office is not open on Sundays.
Our Early/Advance Voting Guide tells you everything you need to know about this type of voting.
Official Language from the Georgia Secretary of State’s 2026 Election Calendar and Highlights:
"Advance voting must begin the fourth Monday before each primary or election. O.C.G.A. § 21-2-385(d)(1)(A)"
