Party Affiliation

You do not register by political party in the State of Georgia because the state has an open primary. At each Presidential Preference or General Primary Election, you may choose the primary in which you wish to vote by selecting the party before voting. A run-off is simply a continuation of the election. You must vote for the same party in the run-off as you did in the primary unless you voted a non-partisan ballot. In this case you must indicate a party preference for your run-off ballot. If you fail to vote in the General Primary, you are still eligible to vote in either party’s Run-off Election and the General Election.

Absentee-by-Mail Voting

Georgia law allows for absentee-by-mail ballots to be requested no earlier than 78 days and no later than 11 days prior to an election. Any applications received outside of this window will be rejected. To request an absentee ballot, complete an absentee ballot application and return it to the elections office by mail, fax, email (as an attachment), or in person.
