If you plan to vote in the November midterm elections and you’re not sure if you’re registered, you have until Monday at 5p to find out.

To register to vote in Georgia, you must:

Be a citizen of the United States
Be a legal resident of the county
Be at least 17 1/2 years of age to register and 18 years of age to vote
Not serving a sentence for conviction of a felony involving moral turpitude
Have not been found mentally incompetent by a judge

You can register to vote online at the Secretary of State’s My Voter page.

Or you can register to vote in person at your local Board of Elections office or at your high school or college.

If you have misplaced or have not received your precinct card within 3 to 4 weeks of submitting your voter registration application, you need to contact your local county registration office to request a new precinct card or to check the status of your application.

And if you have not voted in the last three elections, it’s a good idea to check and make sure you are still on the voter rolls and that your address is correct.

You can check your voter registration status and find voter ID requirements on the Secretary of State’s My Voter Page: https://mvp.sos.ga.gov/s/

Early/Advance voting for the November Elections begins Tuesday, October 13, and runs through Friday, October 30th.

Absentee ballots may be requested from now until Oct. 23

Completed absentee ballots can be returned to your local Registration office via mail or by dropping it off at the Registration office drop box Monday – Friday between 9a and 5p and by 7p Tuesday, November 3, Election Day.
