Georgia voters are preparing for a significant statewide election on Tuesday, June 17, 2025, with two seats on the Public Service Commission (PSC) up for grabs. This election, delayed since 2022 due to a federal court ruling on the at-large voting system, will influence the state’s energy policies, utility rates, and clean energy initiatives.
Early Voting in Dade County continues at 71 Case Ave in Trenton. The turnout is extremely low with less than 40 votes cast so far.
