DeKalb County, GA — DeKalb County Voter Registration and Elections on Wednesday evening officially confirmed its early voting locations, dates and times for the Dec. 6 runoff election.

The county also confirmed the details of a polling location change in Dunwoody. The U.S. Senate runoff on Dec. 6 will feature Sen. Raphael Warnock, D, and challenger Herschel Walker, R.

The elections board created the plan at its Nov. 15 meeting, navigating a shortened runoff window, conflicting interpretations of state law, and a pending lawsuit filed by Warnock over the issue of Saturday voting on Nov. 26. The Georgia Secretary of State says state law prohibits Saturday voting so close to a holiday. Warnock contends that the law only applies to regular elections, not runoffs.

DeKalb currently has no plans for early voting on Saturday, but announced that could change depending on the outcome of Warnock’s lawsuit.

“Saturday voting on Nov. 26 is not permitted under Georgia state law (pending litigation),” the announcement from Voter Registration and Elections says. “DeKalb will update the schedule, locations and hours if it is determined that voting is permitted on Nov. 26.”

DeKalb County will fully staff early voting on Sunday, Nov. 27. Polls will be open 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. at all early voting locations.

Here is the full announcement about early voting in the Dec. 6 runoff:
