Early voting for the May 20 primary election begins Monday in Georgia.

Voters will have their say on GOP challenges to Republican Gov. Nathan Deal, contested races in both parties for Congress, as well as state and local races.

Primary winners will move on to the Nov. 4 general election.

Voters can see sample ballots, verify their registration status and find early voting polling locations on the secretary of state’s “My Voter Page” website (www.mvp.sos.ga.gov). Information about local elections can also be found on the state’s new “GA Votes” mobile apps.

You can download the free apps for both Apple and Android operating systems using either the iTunes app store for an iPhone or iPad or Google Play for Android.

Because the state conducts an “open” primary, voters may vote on a ballot of any party — you make your choice at the polls or when asking for an absentee ballot. You cannot, however, vote in more than one party’s primary.
