How to vote
IN PERSON: Head over to your polling location. You can check that here.
Photo identification is needed when casting a ballot in person in Georgia. The following are valid forms of photo ID:
- a Georgia driver’s license — even if it’s expired
- any valid state or federal government-issued photo ID (including a free ID card issued by your county registrar’s office or the Georgia Department of Driver Services)
- a valid U.S. passport
- a photo employee ID from any branch, department, agency, or entity of the federal government, state government or any county, municipality, board, authority or other entity of this state
- a valid U.S. military photo ID
- a valid tribal photo ID.
Georgia offers a free ID card that can be issued at any county registrar’s office or Department of Driver Services, if you do not have a photo ID. To get one of those, the voter must provide a photo identity document or approved non-photo identity document which includes full legal name and date of birth; documentation which shows the voter’s date of birth; evidence that the applicant is a registered voter; and documentation showing the applicant’s name and residential address.
BY MAIL: Any registered Georgia voter can vote absentee by mail. Just complete the application found at your home county’s election website. Then, mail, fax, email (as an attachment), or drop the completed application off at your county registrar’s office.
Mail-in absentee ballots can be requested no earlier than 180 days prior to Election Day and must be received by your county’s registrar no later than the close of the polls on Election Day.
