ATLANTA — UPDATE: Scroll below for updates to certain counties, after a court ruling allowed Saturday, Nov. 26 as an early voting date.
Original story below
Georgians have a quick turnaround to get back to the polls for a runoff that will decide who represents the Peach State in the U.S. Senate.
The second Election Day itself is Dec. 6, only about three weeks away, but there will be a week of early voting ahead of that.
While there's been some controversy over the application of state law that says counties cannot conduct early voting on Saturday, Nov. 26 because it's a weekend holiday, no such restriction applies to the next day - Sunday Nov. 27.
Because of that, some counties are beginning to prepare to being their early voting on that day. If a county, however, chooses not to conduct early voting that Sunday, all counties in Georgia will begin by at least Monday, Nov. 28.
Here's a look at some around metro Atlanta and what they have posted to their election websites so far:
