In an effort to keep voters and poll workers safe, the state has tapped two Georgia companies to help provide supplies.

In-person voting for Georgia’s June 9 primaries continues this week. Although more than 1.5 million voters have requested an absentee ballot, some are choosing to go to the polls.

Many voters have a choice – vote by mail or vote in person. But polling sites can’t open without poll workers. Complicating things is the number of those folks who are older – and at higher risk of serious complications from COVID 19.
