GEORGIA: if a runoff is triggered, you need to know that the Legislature made some changes since 2020.
PLEASE RT TO SPREAD THE WORD! 1/5
There are now only 4 weeks until the runoff, not 7. 2/5
THE RUNOFF WILL BE HELD ON DEC 6. 3/5
The deadline to register for the runoff has already passed, so this will be an all GOTV push. 4/5
#youthvote proponents will have a very narrow window for outreach to GOTV among those already registered. 5/5

Are you one of the 8 million people who turned 18 in the last 2 years? The Civics Center Founder and Executive Director, Laura W. Brill, wants to shine a light on all that you just did. 1/
We don’t know all of the election results yet, but we do know this: You turned out in large numbers and you overcame enormous obstacles to do it.
