How do I vote by mail?

Due to the COVID-19 crisis, all voters are highly recommended to vote by mail. Click here for more information on voting by mail.

IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT VOTING BY MAIL: 

If you did not mail in your previous absentee ballot by March 24, it is no longer valid. You must request a new one. However, if you already submitted an absentee ballot before March 24 to vote for Bernie, your vote will be counted. 

The Secretary of State will now be mailing absentee ballot request forms to every voter in Georgia. However, if you do not receive your application, you can still request an absentee ballot.

Requesting your absentee ballot:

• You can download an absentee application here.
• Step-by-step instructions for voters who are over 65 years old, have disabilities, or live overseas are available here. Step-by-step instructions for all other voters are available here. 
• Applications may be mailed, faxed, or emailed to your County Board of Registrar’s Office. Information for Fulton, DeKalb, Gwinnett, and Cobb are listed in the instructions linked above.

Returning your absentee ballot:

• May 9 at 5pm is the deadline for your completed ballot to be received by the County Board of Registrar’s Office. You can either drop it off in person or return it by mail. If you’re mailing it back, remember to use two stamps! 

Do I need to bring my ID?

Yes, you are required to bring a photo ID for when you vote. Accepted forms of ID include: 

• Any state or federal government-issued photo ID;
• A Georgia Driver’s License, even if expired;
• Valid employee photo ID from any branch, department, agency, or entity of the U.S. Government, Georgia, or any county, municipality, board, authority or other entity of this state; 
• U.S. passport;
• U.S. military ID; and
• Tribal photo ID

If you do not have one of the six acceptable forms of photo ID, you can get a free voter ID card at any county registrar’s office or Department of Driver Services (DDS) Office.

If you do not have a photo ID while voting, you may still cast a provisional ballot.

What is provisional voting?

If your name does not appear on the voter list, if you do not have a photo ID with you, or if the poll workers question your eligibility for any reason, do not give up voting for Bernie! 

First, make sure you are at the right polling location. If you are at the wrong polling location and are able, make sure you get to your assigned polling location.

If it’s confirmed that you are at the right polling place but your name isn’t on the voter list, ask for a provisional ballot! You have the right to cast a provisional ballot even if your name isn’t on the voter list. It will be counted after the election official determines that you were eligible to vote.

Can I bring anyone to help me? Can I bring an interpreter?

Yes! You have the right to bring someone into the voting booth to help you vote, as long as they do not represent your employer or union. You can bring a relative, a friend or anyone else you trust.

In addition, every polling place is required to be accessible and have voting systems that allow voters with disabilities to vote independently and privately.
