ATLANTA — It's Election Day in Georgia, and voters are getting out to pack the polls to cast ballots in the 2024 Presidential Election

11Alive wants to make sure Georgia voters are prepared ahead of Election Day. All registered voters are required to show a photo ID at the poll. The Secretary of State's Office said this allows county officials to ensure it's you when casting your ballot.

Here is a look at the acceptable forms of ID when Georgians vote.

What IDs can I use to vote in person?
