Macon becomes latest city to consider Sunday voting The Sunday voting trend is spreading. And quickly. Just a few weeks after DeKalb County became the first to allow Sunday voting, local election officials in the Democratic strongholds of Clayton and Fulton counties followed suit. Lawmakers in Macon are considering a similar move this morning. From the Telegraph of Macon’s story: Commissioner Elaine Lucas, vice chair of the finance committee, said she had planned to add the item to the committee’s agenda herself, but the Board of Elections proposed the new voting day. “Bibb County has had a bad percentage of turnout in recent elections, and I am glad to see the Board of Elections push this because it will increase opportunities for people to vote,” Lucas said. Georgia’s election laws mandate that at least one Saturday be made available for early voting in general elections, but not Sunday voting. The current date for Saturday voting in Bibb this election cycle is Oct. 25. ***
