Advocacy groups knock on doors across Georgia to educate voters before midterms

ATLANTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) - With just two days until the midterm elections, advocacy organizations are making a final push to educate voters on their ballots.

Political analysts say the outcome could hinge on these late-deciding and undecided voters heading into Tuesday’s vote.

“Go vote, Chris Hale, regional field director for Greater Georgia said. ”Your voice matters no matter where you’re at."

On Sunday, Greater Georgia canvassers knocked on doors across Gwinnett County.

The conservative voting organization was founded by former Republican U.S. Sen. Kelly Loeffler.

Volunteers answered questions, distributed voter guides covering candidates and proposed constitutional amendments, and asked residents about their top priorities.

“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,” Jacquelyn Harn, communications director for Greater Georgia, said. “Everyone has their issue that they care about, whether it’s affordability, whether it’s taxes, whether it’s health care, whether it’s immigration. They all have their issue, and so we’re trying to make sure that they connect that issue with the position on the ballot.”

Canvassers said they are encountering many undecided voters, who experts say could tip key races.

“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 view a sample ballot through the Secretary of State’s My Voter Page.
