But big parties for voters – that’s a novel idea. October 27, 2018 is Saturday Early Voting for the November 6 General Election in Georgia. We want to rock the early voting turnout. The event is non-partisan, family-friendly and open to anyone in the community. Our plan is to create a carnival atmosphere with free food, a kid’s zone, games, a vendor alley, and more. We will be set up from 10-3 that Saturday.
Rides to the Polls OCT 27- We are taking names of people who need rides to the polls. We have designated October 27 to bring people to the polls to vote and participate in the #PostThePeachParty.
