In Georgia, voters must be registered to vote 30 days prior to the election in order to be eligible to vote in the election. A Voter Registration Application must be completely filled out and signed, and a voter must provide a valid residence address. A voter's Election Day polling place is assigned specific to where their residence lies within the designated precinct lines.
All properly completed applications received by the Voter Registrations & Elections Office that do not meet the above deadline will be processed after certification of the March 12, 2024, election results.
