Who will get my vote?
Each fall, Georgians vote on a variety of different elected positions:
2006 13 U.S. Representative seats, Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Secretary of State, Attorney General, State School Superintendent,
Commissioner of Insurance, Commissioner of Agriculture, Commissioner of Labor
After the close of qualifying for each election, you may reference the official candidate qualifying database to see who is running for each elected office.
Please access our poll locator to determine your respective congressional and legislative districts. Also, sample ballots are available through your county or municipal election superintendent's office prior to the election.
What is a registrar, primary, poll, etc.?
Please reference the Georgia Election Code for details regarding the electoral process in our state.
When do I vote?
Polls are open from 7:00 a.m. until 7:00 p.m. on each election day. However, any voter who is waiting in line to vote at 7:00 p.m. will be allowed to vote. Peak voting hours are historically from 7:00 a.m. until 9:30 a.m., 4:30 p.m. until 7:00 pm, and during the mid-day lunch hour.
Where do I vote?
Each voter must vote at the polling place designated for the precinct in which the voter lives - the location of your polling place is located on your precinct card. If you have misplaced your card or do not know where your precinct is located, please use our poll locator.
Why should I vote?
Your vote is your voice in the governance of your city, county, state and country. As a citizen, you declare your rights and privileges with your vote. Contrary to popular belief, one vote - your vote - does make a difference.
How do I vote?
As there are approximately 8,000 ballot styles within the state of Georgia due to various district lines, sample ballots are available through your county or municipal election superintendent's office at your polling place on election day or prior to an election upon request. Voters are authorized to carry a sample ballot or list of selected candidates with them to the polls to aid them in voting their ballot. You may not share the sample ballot or candidate list with other voters at the polls, but you may use it for your benefit.
