Georgia and NC Adapt Early Voting Amid Challenges

Georgia is gearing up for the upcoming election with early voting starting from October 15 to November 1, as legal experts encourage voters to plan ahead and be aware of their rights. Social security is the top concern for voters in Georgia, driven by a recent data breach and decreased access to services. The state has seen a population increase, influencing voter turnout and early voting participation, with at least 20% expected to vote early or absentee. Meanwhile, Buncombe County, North Carolina, has modified its early voting plan due to disruptions from Tropical Storm Helene, ensuring voter access with new times and locations. The changes aim to accommodate voters and require fewer poll workers and locations. Across the region, states like Tennessee, Arkansas, and Mississippi are also preparing for the voting process with respective deadlines and early voting schedules.
