GA Voter Guide 2025: Key Races, Find Your Polling Place

Early voters already headed to the polls, but there is still time for Georgians to cast their votes and make their selections in the 2025 general election.

This year's election will determine the next state public service commissioner, as well as who fills several municipal seats.

Georgia voters have until Nov. 4, Election Day, to cast their ballots in their local municipal races. Polling locations will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Election Day.

According to the Georgia Secretary of State's office, as long as people are in line by 7 p.m., they will be allowed to vote.

Early voting ended on Halloween, and deadlines for voter registration and to request absentee ballots have passed.

Absentee ballots need to be returned before polls close on Election Day to be counted. Voters have several options to request absentee ballots and for returning the completed ballots.

Voters should go to the My Voter Page to determine their eligibility to vote and to locate their polling place and early voting location. Voters can also confirm their current addresses and view sample ballots.

One of the key municipal races will determine if Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens will retain his seat or if one of his opponents will replace him.

Dickens is eyeing a second term to lead Georgia's capital, but three contenders would like their turn at overseeing Atlanta.

He is running against McKesson Practice Choice developer Dr. Helmut Domagalski, former Atlanta Police officer Kalema Jackson and Atlanta native Eddie Andrew Meredith.

The next deadline voters may want to mark on their calendars is Dec. 2, when a federal runoff may be held. The last day to register to vote in the runoff will be on Monday, Nov. 24.

Early voting will start no later than Nov. 24 and will last for two days.

Election officials said absentee ballots in the runoff will be mailed as soon as possible.
