DOUGLAS COUNTY, Ga. — Douglas County was first out of the gates on early voting in Georgia on Tuesday, offering voters the earliest chance among the state's 159 counties to cast a vote in the Senate runoff between Sen. Raphael Warnock and Herschel Walker.

The early voting period will now run through Friday, Dec. 2, before Georgia holds a second Election Day on Dec. 6.

One other county, DeKalb, has announced it would conduct early voting this week, with plans there to offer it tomorrow, Wednesday, Nov. 22. A number of other counties have announced plans to start on Saturday, Nov. 26, after a court ruling allowed early voting to be held on that day, and Sunday, Nov. 27.
