If Statesboro and Bulloch County residents participate in city and county elections this year, the overwhelming majority will do so today at the polls. According to Shontay Jones with the Bulloch County Registrar’s Office, approximately 3 percent of Statesboro’s eligible voters took advantage of the early/advanced voting period between Oct. 17 and Nov. 4, and about 2 percent of Bulloch County’s registered voters cast early ballots. Despite a contested Statesboro City Council seat, as well as referendums calling for the sale of alcohol on Sundays and the continuation of a one-cent Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (SPLOST), many local voters have, thus far, remained silent.
