ALBANY, GA. --
Election officials spent the day before Super Tuesday answering last minute questions about the ballots.

“We have two ballot styles. There's a primary election, a Democrat and a Republican ballot. On the Republican ballot there are nine candidates in Georgia. On the Democratic ballot there is one candidate,” said Dougherty County Elections Supervisor Ginger Nickerson.

On the Republican ballot voters have a choice of Michele Bachman, Mitt Romney, Rick Perry, Rick Santorum, Jon Huntsman, Newt Gingrich, Gary Johnson, and Buddy Roemer and Ron Paul.

Herman Cain is the only candidate who has officially withdrawn from the race.

President Barack Obama is the only candidate on the Democratic ballot.

Election organizers began preparing early Monday morning for Super Tuesday, the day when 10 states simultaneously hold their presidential primary or caucus.

Voting machines were delivered and set up at 28 precincts across in Dougherty County.

Poll managers held a meeting to get their final plan and pick up last minute supplies.

Polls open at 7:00 a.m. and stay open until 7:00 pm.
