Voting Underway

Update:

At polling places in Oconee and Athens-Clarke, a slow trickle of voters swiped their voting cards on computerized machines Tuesday and selected the candidate of their choice.

“It’s an honor and a civic responsibility to vote every time you have the opportunity,” said Jill Drerup of Watkinsville as she left the polls at the Oconee County Civic Center.

Other voters had more specific reasons for voting.

“I voted for the only Democrat on the ticket,” said Paula Ciembor of Watkinsville, referring to Dan Matthews.

Jean Vamian of Watkinsville said she voted for Republican Sarah Bell because “she is very involved in county politics, well informed and very active. I think she will make a great representative.” 

“I voted for Chuck Williams because I thought he was the most qualified,” said Ken Berry, another voter from Oconee.
