ATLANTA — Georgia residents can start voting Monday in the presidential election.

Early voting in the presidential election in Georgia runs from Monday through Nov. 2.

There is at least one early voting location in each Georgia county. Voters will be required to show one of the required forms of photo identification, such as a driver's license or a valid U.S. passport.

Early voting in Polk County will take place at the Cedartown Elections Office, 144 West Ave., Cedartown and the Nathan Dean Community Center, 604 Goodyear Ave., Rockmart. Early voting will take place from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 27.

The number of early voting locations may increase in some counties closer to the Nov. 6 election day.

Georgia officials have predicted a big turnout for early voting.

Georgia legislators changed the law before the 2008 presidential election so that anyone could vote early within 45 days of the election without having to state a reason.
