With the political eyes of the nation fixed on the Peach State, Georgians will begin voting in the Jan. 5 senate runoff elections today.

Bibb County residents can typically vote until from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday at three locations: The county election board (2525 Pio Nono Ave., STE 1200); Elaine H. Lucas Senior Center (132 Willie Smokie Glover Drive); and Theron Ussery Community Center (815 N. Macon Park Drive). Registered voters need to wear masks while inside, practice social distancing and provide a photo ID.
