USPS Delays in Absentee Ballots and Applications
USPS Delays in Absentee Application and Ballots
Public Notice
We regret to inform you that there have been delays in the processing and delivery of absentee ballot applications and absentee ballots due to the performance of the United States Postal Service (USPS). This delay may affect the timely receipt and processing of your absentee voting materials.
Alternative Voting Methods
We understand the importance of your vote and assure you that every effort is being made to mitigate the impact of these delays. However, we encourage you to consider alternative voting methods if possible.
- In-person voting, Monday through Friday, April 29th – May 17th at the Board of Elections Office, 226 Candler Street, Homer, Ga 30547
- Voting on Election Day, May 21, 2024. Polls are open on Election Day 7:00 AM -7:00 PM at your assigned poll.
- Drop off your application or ballot at the Election Office located at 226 Candler St, Homer, Ga 30547.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding during this challenging time. We know that you did what you are required to do to receive an application and absentee ballot, and that the Banks County Board of Elections and Voter Registration Absentee Staff has done what they are required to do to make sure you get your absentee material. Unfortunately, once it leaves the election office, we are relying on the USPS to do their part of the process, in which they have not.
