Register To Vote
There are several ways you can register to vote:
1) Print and complete a Voter Registration Form and mail to the address at the bottom of the form:
Secretary of State
Elections Division
P.O. Box 105325
Atlanta, Ga. 30348
2) Visit your local county board of registrars to register in person.
3) Visit a local public library to obtain a voter registration form.
4) Register while you apply for or renew your driver’s license. Simply request registration at the time you apply for or renew your Georgia driver’s license or state ID card.
Many people believe that by registering to vote, you increase your chances of being served with jury duty. However, jury lists are now pulled from the driver’s license databases so register to vote and make your voice heard.

Absentee Ballot Application
You may request an absentee ballot as early as 180 days before an election. Absentee ballots must be received by the county board of registrars’ office by 7:00 p.m. on election day. No absentee ballots are issued on the day before or the day of an election. You may download an application for official absentee/advance ballot and mail it or fax it to your county board of registrars’ office. The application must be in writing and contain the address to which the ballot is to be mailed, sufficient information to identify you as a voter, and the election in which you wish to vote – no reason is required when requesting an absentee ballot by mail. If you are physically disabled or living temporarily outside your county of residence, a close relative may apply for an absentee ballot for you.
