Paulding County sets March 10 special primary for U.S. House District 14; early voting begins Feb. 16

Paulding County Elections Director Deidra Holden announced the schedule and procedures for the special primary to fill the U.S. House seat for District 14 following Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene’s resignation.

'We are having the special primary for the 14th Congressional District. That election day is March 10,' Holden said on the county’s Paulding Pulse broadcast. She told viewers that early voting will begin at the Watson Government Complex on Feb. 16 with polls open at the complex starting at 8 a.m., and that all county precincts will be open on March 10 from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Holden described the contest as a 'jungle primary,' meaning 'all candidates, whether Republican, Democrat, independent, they're all on one ballot,' so any voter can participate regardless of party affiliation. She urged residents to come out and vote and said the contest will choose a representative for Washington who will represent Paulding County and neighboring communities.
