If you just want info about your own voting districts, the Georgia My Voter Page is your best source. It will tell you your federal, state, county and municipal districts, your assigned polling place, and links out to sample ballots.
If you want more info about how all of the pieces fit together, here's a little more detail:
All or part of Floyd County is in six DIFFERENT election districts, depending on what office we're talking about.
Further complicating things, we are also talking about two elections, the March 10 Special Election and the November 3 General Election.
First things first - the Special Election:
As you know, Marjorie Taylor Greene resigned from the U.S. House of Representatives, triggering the March 10 Special Election to fill her unexpired term. That seat is U.S. House District 14, which includes all of Floyd County.
Following the announcement of that election State Senator Colton Moore resigned his seat, Georgia Senate District 53, to run for U.S. House. The Special Election to fill Georgia SD 53, which includes part of Floyd County is also on March 10.
In the March 10 election candidates from all parties are on a single ballot. If no candidate receives 50%+1 vote, there will be a runoff election on April 7.
The candidates:
U.S. House District 14: The Floyd County Democratic Party has unanimously endorsed Shawn Harris in this race.
Georgia Senate District 53: Jack Zibluk is the only Democrat running in this race.
Now for the General Election:
The general election will be Tuesday, November 3. A primary is scheduled for May 19.
For our representative in the U.S. House of Representatives in Washington, D.C., all of Floyd County is in U.S. Congressional District 14.
Shawn Harris is the only Democratic candidate for U.S. House District 14.
For our representatives to the Georgia State Senate, parts of Floyd County are in two districts, Georgia Senate Districts 52 & 53.
Our current District 52 representative is Chuck Hufstetler, a Republican who will be running unopposed.
Jack Zibluk is the only Democrat running in District 53.
For our representatives to the Georgia State House of Representatives, parts of Floyd County are in three Districts, Georgia House Districts 5, 12 & 13.
In District 5, Rasmus Jensen is the only Democrat running against Republican incumbent Matt Barton.
In District 12, Holly Chaney is the only Democrat running against Republican incumbent Eddie Lumsden.
In District 13, FCDP Chair Vincent Mendes is the only Democrat running against Republican incumbent Katie Dempsey.
There are many other candidates running for statewide offices (Governor, Lieutenant Governor, etc.) and there are Floyd County elections, some of which all county residents may vote for, some of which only county residents who live outside of the city of Rome can vote for. We'll look at those in a separate post.
But wait, where are these districts?
As we said above, the Georgia My Voter Page will tell you which district you vote in. But if you want to know more, here are some helpful maps:
