Final Weekend For Early Voting Before May 24 Primary

This weekend is the last chance voters will be able to cast early ballots in weekend voting before Georgia's May 24 primary.

Early voting runs through Friday, May 20.

Thursday is also the first day that Georgia voters can request absentee ballots for the Nov. 8, 2016, general election.

To request an absentee ballot, voters can submit a written application to their local county registrar or log onto the office’s “My Voter Page (MVP) ” to print the application and mail the completed form to their registrar.

“Through MVP, requesting an absentee ballot has never been easier in Georgia,” stated Secretary of State Brian Kemp. “I was proud to bring this new innovation to our state along with other helpful web-based platforms, such as the online voter registration system and the ‘GA Votes’ smartphone app.”

Voters are advised to request absentee ballots before November 4, 2016 to vote by mail in the General Election.

To participate in the General Election, Georgia residents who are not already registered to vote must submit a voter registration application by October 11, 2016. You can register to vote using the Secretary of State’s online voter registration system (OLVR), downloading the “GA Votes” smartphone app, or completing a fillable, postage-paid voter registration application to mail to your county registrar by the registration deadline.
