Henry County Residents will be able to decide in a special election scheduled for September 10th, on whether or not to approve a 75 cent Essential Services Tax for Emergency Medical Services in Henry County. The Henry County Board of Supervisors passed a resolution in May declaring EMS as an essential service. The vote would need at least 60 percent approval and the current hospital levy cap is 27 cents. The difference is 48 cents per $1,000 dollar valuation but it would more than double the funding for Henry County EMS. This vote will also allow for 24/7 EMS services to continue in Henry County.

Early voting on the second floor of the courthouse begins on August 21, 2024, Monday through Friday 8:00am – 4:30pm. Voter Pre Registration Deadline for people not registered in Henry County is August 26th. Absentee ballots are accepted now until Monday, August 26th.
