It's voting time again, Georgia. But this time, there's just one box to check.

• Here's what to know about the runoff:

Who can vote?

Unlike the 2021 runoffs, there is no new voter registration window this year. Only those who were registered by Nov. 7 are eligible to vote in the runoff.

Yes, but: Those who registered as 17.5 year olds by the Nov. 7 registration deadline and turn 18 on or before Dec. 6, are eligible to vote, per Georgia law.

Voting by mail

The deadline to request an absentee ballot is Nov. 28. Request your ballot here.

• The ballot must be received by Election Day, Dec. 6 — either by mail or by dropbox.
• Make sure to check your My Voter Page before the election to ensure it has been accepted.

Of note: Military and overseas voters this year received a ranked-choice runoff ballot for a possible runoff at the same time they received their general election ballot. They could have already submitted a ranked-choice ballot that will count for the runoff.

• If they didn't submit, they still can. And if they did not request a ballot for the general election, they can request a runoff ballot.
• Military and overseas absentee ballots can be received up to Friday, Dec. 9, as long as they are postmarked by Election Day (Dec. 6).

Metro Atlanta early in-person voting

Find early voting locations for your county here.

Be smart: All counties are required to hold early voting from Monday, Nov. 28 to Friday, Dec. 2, but some can decide to hold more.

Catch up quick: A Fulton County judge ruled Friday that counties can hold Saturday early voting on Nov. 26, overriding a previous decision from the Secretary of State.

• In the metro area, only DeKalb and Fulton have opted to add that Saturday. (Counties had to announce it with a week's notice.)

We suggest you "take a meeting off-site" this afternoon, go to the nearest bar that even remotely resembles an English pub and watch the world's greatest game.

What's happening: The U.S. Men’s National Team takes on Wales at 2pm in the squad’s first game of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

State of play: Streaming options abound. But if you prefer to cheer, boo and weep with friends and strangers, here are good options:

• The Brewhouse Cafe: The in-town king of soccer watching in Little Five Points is putting up outdoor tents and TVs and serving a lunch menu starting at 5am for the early games.
• Fadó Irish Pub: You'll find a game day brunch menu, special drinks and fantasy brackets at the Midtown and Buckhead locations.

Also check out: Hampton + Hudson in Inman Park, Midway Pub and The Elder Tree Public House in EAV, Meehan's Public House in Vinings and Downtown, Pizzeria Azzurri in Cumming, Manny's in Grant Park and El Tesoro in Edgewood.

Don't miss: More than 1,000 people will flock to Wild Heaven West End on the Beltline's Westside Trail on Nov. 25 to watch the USA vs. England, Jason Longshore, 92.9 The Game's commentator for Atlanta United matches, tells Axios.

• The watch party is one of many events hosted during this tournament by Atlanta United, the team's supporter groups, Soccer Down Here and other organizations.

Of note: Three metro Atlanta natives are playing in this year's tournament and each received a special billboard note from Ted Lasso, the AJC reports.

Don’t forget: Atlanta’s one of the host cities for the 2026 World Cup.

What we're watching: Spain vs. Germany on Nov. 27.

Last week, MARTA donated one of its original railcars to the Southeastern Railway Museum in Duluth.

What's happening: With a new generation of railcars on the way, MARTA wanted to make sure future generations can appreciate the original aluminum-bodied beasts that keep Atlantans out of traffic.

Details: Built by Société Franco-Belge, railcar no. 506 started its 30-year career riding the tracks in 1981. It measures 75 feet long and weighs more than 80,000 pounds.

This week's your last chance to feast on chopped pork barbecue and potato salad that’s fed countless politicians and North Georgia road trippers.

What's happening: This coming Saturday, Nov. 26, at 4pm, Poole's Bar-B-Q in East Ellijay will close its doors after more than 30 years in business.

Catch up quick: Husband-and-wife duo "Colonel" Oscar and Edna Poole opened the barbecue restaurant in 1989.

• The red-and-yellow building framed by a "pig hill of fame" littered with plywood pigs became a must-stop spot for politicians including Pat Buchanan, Nathan Deal, and many others to shake hands.

The Pooles retired in 2008 and sold the restaurant to their son, Darvin. Oscar, himself a conservative activist and regular sight at GOP parties, died in 2020 at the age of 90.

What's next: Darvin tells the AJC that he's closing to spend more time with his grandchildren, but he'd consider offers to buy the business.
