NORTH FULTON COUNTY, GA -- Residents and pundits alike are anxiously awaiting Election Day when voters across Georgia's 6th Congressional District will have their say on who will represent them in the U.S. House of Representatives.

The special election runoff on Tuesday, June 20 has Democrat Jon Ossoff and Republican Karen Handel vying to win the seat vacated by Tom Price, who was appointed to serve as secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services for President Donald Trump's administration.

Polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., and residents must cast ballots at their assigned polling locations.

In North Fulton, the early voting period between May 30 and June 16 saw a record 72,302 votes cast in the hotly contested runoff, according to numbers provided by Fulton County. The county also sent out 13,921 mail-in ballots and received 8,539 of those ballots from those voters before early voting ended. Across the 6th District, 140,308 early ballots — 114,537 advance in-person ballots and 25,771 mailed-in absentee ballots — were cast in the runoff, the office of Georgia Secretary of State Brian Kemp said.
