On Nov. 3, 2020, Georgians, along with the rest of the United States, voted for president as well as their state and local officials. So why are people here voting again? Well, Georgia has a runoff rule. Essentially if no U.S. Senate candidate wins over 50% of the vote, then there’s a second round of voting to choose a definite winner.
Two incumbent Republican senators are trying to hold on to their seats against two Democrat challengers. The balance of power in the U.S. for the next two years literally hinges on this election.

In This Story: Vote
Voting is a method for a group, such as a meeting or an electorate, in order to make a collective decision or express an opinion usually following discussions, debates or election campaigns. Democracies elect holders of high office by voting. Residents of a place represented by an elected official are called “constituents”, and those constituents who cast a ballot for their chosen candidate are called “voters”. There are different systems for collecting votes, but while many of the systems used in decision-making can also be used as electoral systems, any which cater for proportional representation can only be used in elections.
In smaller organizations, voting can occur in different ways. Formally via ballot to elect others for example within a workplace, to elect members of political associations or to choose roles for others. Informally voting could occur as a spoken agreement or as a verbal gesture like a raised hand or electronically.
