KNOW YOUR STATUS

  • Click here to check your voting status
    • If you haven’t voted in a while, Georgia law allows election officials to move your registration to an inactive status.  That means they’ll purge you from the voter rolls. If you have been taken off the rolls, all you need to do is re-register.  Check your registration status here: https://mvp.sos.ga.gov/s/

EARLY VOTING

  • You can vote at any early-voting location in your county. So, find one that is convenient and has the shortest line.  Click here for a list of sites in your county and their hours.
  • Early voting locations must be open on weekdays from 9 am – 5 pm. Counties have the option of extending early voting hours to a maximum of 7 am – 7 pm.

ABSENTEE BALLOTS

Absentee ballots are an option for registered voters who prefer not to vote in person. You do not need an excuse to request an absentee ballot. You must request an absentee ballot in order to receive one in the mail. Your County Registrar’s Office must receive your ballot before the polls close on Election Day to be counted.

How to vote by Absentee Ballot:

  1. Register to vote and have a form of voter ID
  2. Submit an absentee ballot application online, by email, by fax, or in person
  3. After your county elections office reviews your application, you will receive your ballot by mail
  4. Fill out and sign your absentee ballot according to the instructions provided. Failure to complete your ballot correctly or not enter the required info on the outer oath envelope could invalidate your ballot
  5. There are 3 ways to submit your absentee ballot:
    • Mail your completed ballot.
    • Hand-deliver your absentee ballot to your county registrar. If you’re registered as a disabled voter, someone in your household can hand-deliver your absentee ballot for you. Contact your county registrar for available drop-off locations.
    • Bring your ballot to your county’s drop box.
  6. Verify that your ballot was accepted by visiting the Georgia My Voter Page. Log in and look for the section labeled “Absentee Ballot Request Information”

NOTES:

  • If you are voting in a primary election, you will need to request either a Democrat, Republican, or Non-Partisan ballot. You do not need to request a specific type of ballot for a general election.
  • Request and return your absentee ballot early to account for mail time and to allow time to resolve any issues that may arise when voting by absentee ballot
