ATLANTA — At least three organizations want to make sure you can get to your polling site on Tuesday to vote in the US Senate runoffs.
NACA (Neighborhood Assistance Corporation of America) will have a fleet of 15-passenger vans in the metro for safe and free rides to the polls. They said each van will be stocked with PPE and will maintain social distancing by limiting the number of passengers for each trip.
During early voting for the general election, NACA brought a fleet of 100 vans to Atlanta in the largest operation of its kind ever, taking more than 25,000 voters to the polls, and more than 70,000 total in Georgia, Texas, North Carolina and South Carolina.
Voters wanting a ride from NACA on Tuesday can call 888-495-6222 and schedule one of the vans to provide the round-trip, they said.
Another option is from the Home Depot co-founder and Falcons and Atlanta United team owner, the Arthur Blank Foundation.
They are offering a $20 rideshare credit for up to two rides to all polling locations in Georgia.
To take advantage of this offer, use Lyft code: BFOBVOTES.
Another group, Rideshare2Vote, has a seasoned Outreach Team that was hired in advance of these critical Senate elections in Georgia. The company expanded its team to hire experts from the 2020 campaign cycles.
They will be accepting requests to ride statewide in Georgia via their mobile app Rideshare2Vote Rider, through their web form, or via phone at (888) 977-2250.
Polls are open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 5. You must vote at your designated polling location. To find out your location, visit the Secretary of State's voter registration page at: www.mvp.sos.ga.gov.
Republican Sens. David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler look to hold onto their positions in Washington D.C. Democrats Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff look to unseat them. The Republicans must win one of the two seats in order to maintain control of the US Senate.
