Those wishing to avoid lines at Tuesday’s polls will have to cast their early ballots by Friday evening.

Advanced voting comes to an end to free poll workers Monday to prepare for Tuesday’s primary election.

Bibb County Board of Elections supervisor Elaine Carr said advanced voting has been brisk with about 6,000 votes cast since July 10.

The first two weeks of Bibb County’s advance voting drew 3,814 voters -- 1,601 the first week and 2,213 the second.

Bibb County’s Board of Elections closes at 5:30 p.m. and Houston County’s voting locations will be open until 5 p.m. Friday.
