Millions of Georgians have already cast their ballots and state officials are confident that millions more will have a good experience at polling places on Election Day.

What you need to know:

  • Where do I vote? Find your polling place
  • Text poll troubles to 470-485-2WSB/470-485-2972
  • Live real-time election results from 50+ Georgia counties on wsbtv.com
  • Live coverage on wsbtv.com starting at 8 p.m. and ABC News at 7p.m.

Channel 2 Action News will be at the polls as they open at 7 a.m. on Tuesday and provide in-depth coverage on television and on digital platforms that is unmatched in Georgia.

Monitoring The Polls

Only Channel 2 investigative reporter Aaron Diamant traveled with Secretary of State Brian Kemp across Georgia on Monday as he toured polling sites in five regions.

Diamant reported in late October that the state was looking into claims that machines had flipped votes.

State officials told Channel 2 Action News they were looking into flipping claims in 5 counties including Cobb, Clayton and Coweta.  All of those claims turned out to be unsubstantiated. 

Channel 2 Action News set up a voter hotline to report any problems at the poll. If you have any trouble when voting or see irregularities text our voting help line at 470-485-2WSB or 470-485-2972. You can also send a photo of your voting experience.

 

Polls close at 7 p.m. on Tuesday but it could be hours before voters know who Georgia elected to be president.

The latest Channel 2 poll conducted by Landmark/Rosetta Stone shows Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton nearly deadlocked in Georgia.
