Groups Target Undecided Georgia Voters in Final 48 Hours
Volunteers from Greater Georgia canvassed Gwinnett County on Sunday to distribute guides on local races and constitutional amendments.

Advocacy organizations are conducting a final round of outreach in Georgia as the state prepares for Tuesday's midterm elections. With two days remaining until polls open, groups are focusing their efforts on residents who have not yet decided how to cast their ballots.
Chris Hale, regional field director for Greater Georgia, told supporters, “Go vote. Your voice matters no matter where you’re at.” The organization, which was founded by former Republican U.S. Sen. Kelly Loeffler, sent canvassers into Gwinnett County on Sunday. Their mission is to inform voters about the full range of choices on the ballot, including specific candidates and proposed constitutional amendments.
Volunteers distributed voter guides and asked residents to identify their top priorities. Jacquelyn Harn, the communications director for Greater Georgia, explained that the goal is to help people connect their personal concerns with the options presented. “We really try to educate voters on their entire ballot, and so we’re not necessarily trying to push one candidate or another, but we’re really trying to make sure that people actually know what’s at stake here,” Harn said.
Harn noted that voters often care deeply about issues such as affordability, taxes, health care, and immigration. The canvassers aim to bridge the gap between these individual priorities and the positions of the candidates running for office. This approach is designed to make the ballot more accessible to those who may not follow state politics closely.
Political analysts suggest that the outcome of several races could depend on these late-deciding voters. Hale said his team is hearing from many undecided residents who are eager to learn more about the candidates. “We don’t really know what’s going to happen,” Hale said. “And those are actually the people we like to hear from the most because they typically are the most receptive and understanding, and they want to learn more about who’s down the ballot.”
Georgia voters can access a sample ballot through the Secretary of State’s My Voter Page to review their choices before heading to the polls.
