Election Day is almost here.

If you haven’t early voted yet in the Georgia primaries, it’s not too late.

Election day is on May 21, but if you would like to turn in an absentee ballot or participate in early voting, you still have some time.

Can I still turn in my absentee ballot?

Yes. All absentee ballots must be turned in by Tuesday, May 21 at 7 p.m.

To ensure your vote is counted by absentee ballot, make sure you mail or hand deliver your completed ballot. Here’s how:

  • For absentee voters in the country, mail your completed ballot to your Registrar’s office.
  • To hand deliver: Contact your county registrar for available drop-off locations or go online and select your county to see which elections office is nearest you.

Please note: If you’re currently a military or overseas voter and you post your absentee ballot on Election Day, make sure it arrives within three days.
