Voting Precinct Houses of Irwin County, Georgia

Throughout much of the twentieth century, when America was still predominately a rural society, people voted near their homes and farms, in rural subdivisions known as voting precincts. While the practice of dividing voters among georgraphical lines is still the rule, most voting today is done in centralized facilities such as churches, armories, and high school or college gymnasiums. A dwindling number of South Georgia counties still maintain rural precincts. Luckily, at least six survive, if all are not in use, in Irwin County.
