Voting Information
Make Sure You Are Ready to Vote!!!
Equality begins with equal access to voting. We’d like to share information about voting with you so that as our voting dates, locations and processes change everyone will have equal access to participate in our government by voting. Below please find information about how to verify if your registration is active, all the information you need to request absentee ballots and vote remotely, as well as, information about changing voting dates and deadlines. Let us know if you have other sources of voting information that you think would be useful—we’d love to share more information with Georgians to increase the vote!

You will need to REQUEST an Absentee Ballot if you want to vote remotely.
You will not automatically receive the request form in the mail unless you request it. NOTE: I encourage you to request your ballot as soon as possible.
When you can request an absentee ballot:
Georgia law allows requests up to 78 days before an election, and must be received 11 days before the election of choice.
Last day to apply for the Special Election: February 27, 2026
Last day to apply for the Primary Election: May 8, 2026
Last day to apply for the General Election: October 23, 2026.
Georgia requires that absentee ballot applications be received—not postmarked—by these deadlines.
NOTE: Special Provision for Seniors & People with Disabilities:
If you are 65 or older or have a physical disability, Georgia law lets you opt in to receive absentee ballots for all elections in that calendar year — including primaries, general elections, and runoffs with just one application.
On the absentee ballot application form (the “Official Absentee Ballot Application”), there is a designated box for voters who are 65+ or disabled to check.
Check that box AND the option that says you want to receive ballots for all elections in the calendar year.
You can submit this form once per calendar year to cover all regular elections that year.
The application still must be received by your county registrar at least 11 days before the first election you want to vote in that year.
