ATLANTA - More than 40 No Kings events are planned across Georgia on Saturday, Oct. 17. Organizers are emphasizing voter participation, including making early-voting plans and learning about election-protection efforts. The events come as early voting is underway for Georgia’s midterm election.
Early voting runs through Oct. 30, with Election Day set for Nov. 3. Voters can check registration, sample ballots and polling information through the Georgia Secretary of State’s My Voter Page.
The No Kings movement began with a nationwide mobilization in June 2025 and has since held additional demonstrations. For Saturday’s action, organizers describe events as largely nonpartisan voter-participation activities building on the movement’s earlier gatherings.
