When is early voting for the Georgia primaries?

Here's the timeline laid out by the Georgia Secretary of State's Office.

ATLANTA — The 2024 presidential primary campaign is underway, with Iowa and New Hampshire voters already having a say and votes to come in February in Nevada, South Carolina and Michigan.

Georgia doesn't hold its primaries until March 12, the week after Super Tuesday. But even though that may feel like a long ways off still, the Peach State's early voting period will come up before you know it.

Here's what you want to know about the early voting period dates if you're planning on casting an early in-person ballot. Keep in mind, the dates are in flux -- check with your local county elections office before you make your plans to vote, as Georgia law allows a lot of leeway for local jurisdictions to set their own dates.

You can look up your specific county information on the Georgia Secretary of State's website here. If you're voting absentee, you can already make your ballot request here.

  • March 1: Last day to request absentee ballot for primaries (Remember, if you vote absentee, there is no "deadline" for when you have to mail it in -- rather, the deadline applies to when it needs to arrive by: i.e. you have to make sure you send it in early enough that it arrives by the times polls close on Election Day.)
