When is the deadline to register to vote in Georgia?

You can! If you’ve registered to vote you can apply for an absentee ballot using the Secretary of State’s online portal, or via email, mail or fax to your county registrar’s office. You’ll need to provide a driver’s license or state-issued ID.
I have moved recently or missed an election, how do I make sure I receive a ballot?
You can use the My Voter Page portal to see what your most up-to-date information is, and make changes if you’ve moved. You can also look at the status of your voter registration, and make sure that you will receive your ballot for the next election.
If your info doesn’t appear in the system and you believe you’re registered to vote, you can contact your local registrar – you can find that info here.
How do I request my ballot electronically? Can I?
I want to vote/register to vote but I speak/understand Spanish better than English; do I have any options?
Georgia’s voter information website makes translations of its content available via Google Translate. Click the language button at the top right to make site information available in Simplified Chinese, Hatian Creole, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish and Vietnamese.
You can then submit your voter registration form online, or mail it to your local registration office. You can find your office based on which county and city you’re in at this link.
I haven't received my ballot in the mail and the election is getting closer! What should I do?
