Super Tuesday Comes To Cascade

Here's your election guide


It's Super Tuesday in Cascade, and one of the big issues facing our community is whether to continue the city's on visitors, conventioneers and other travelers who come to Atlanta.

Also, we imagine that Cascade is pretty solid in the Obama column, but we'd also like to know if you plan on voting in the GOP primary, to help "choose" a candidate to square off against the president come November.

And if you're not certain about your exact polling location, go to the Georgia Secretary of State's special My Voter Page; enter your address; and ... voila! Your precinct and polling spot are identified.

Polling places will be open 7 a.m. - 7 p.m.

2. Who can vote?

Georgia's presidential primary is an open system, which means that you do not have to register for a particular party to vote. At the polling place, you will get the party ballot that you ask for. Only Democratic and Republican ballots are available for the Georgia primary. (During the general election in November, other choices will be listed.)

3. If you're elderly, do you have to wait in line?

No. From 9:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m., each voter who is 75 years of age or older, or who is disabled and requires assistance in voting shall can request to skpi the line. If you ask, a polling worker will allow you to vote at the next available station.

4. Can you still vote absentee on Super Tuesday?

The short answer is no. If you didn't do advanced or absentee voting, you have to show up at the polls to cast your ballot.
