Tomorrow Is the Last Day to Vote

Tomorrow is Election Day in Habersham County, and it is the final chance for residents to cast their ballots in this year’s municipal elections. If you haven’t voted yet, now is the time to make a plan to go to the polls and participate in choosing the leaders who will help guide our local communities.

Local elections shape the future of our cities — from police and fire services, to parks, zoning, business growth, and the character of our neighborhoods. Your vote directly influences your community.

Make Your Plan to Vote

Take a minute tonight to:

  • Decide what time you’ll vote
  • Confirm your precinct
  • Invite a neighbor or friend to go with you

When more people participate, our shared voice becomes stronger.

Tomorrow is our last chance.

Let’s shape our future, together.
