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

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.

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.
