ATLANTA — Voters in Georgia will soon head to the polls to cast their ballots for the 2024 Presidential Election. Ahead of Election Day, voters must confirm their designated polling location or make any address changes to receive a new one.
Here's how you can find your polling location.
Where do I go to vote in Georgia?
On Election Day, you must vote at your designated polling location.
You can find your assigned polling site on your voter registration card or online at the Georgia My Voter Page on the Secretary of State's website.
Fill out your name, county, and date of birth. Then, you'll be able to check whether you are registered to vote and which polling precinct you're assigned to vote. You'll also be able to check your mail-in application and ballot status online. Remember, unlike other recent elections, absentee ballot drop boxes will not be available on Election Day.
Additionally, you can contact your county's board of registrar's office to find your assigned polling location. It's possible that the last time you voted, your precinct may have changed.
How to change your address
If you've moved to a new address in Georgia, you will have to register to vote with your new address to receive an updated polling location.
You can go to the Secretary of State's My Voter Page:
- There, you can check to see if you're registered at your new address or click the tab to register a new voter registration.
- In step one, you'll have to fill out your information.
- In step two, be sure to add your new address to the voter registration form.
- Continue to fill out your information as you normally would for the remainder of the registration form.
Confirm polling location before you show
Be sure to confirm your voter registration status and polling location before you vote. On Election Day, you don't want to be caught in traffic trying to maneuver between polling locations.
The easiest way to check and confirm your polling location and registration status is online at the Georgia My Voter Page.
Provisional voting ballot
You won't automatically be given a provisional ballot if you show up at the wrong polling precinct. If you go to the wrong location before 5 p.m., you'll be directed to the correct one.
You'll only be allowed to fill out a provisional ballot to have your vote count if you show up at the wrong location after 5 p.m.
The polls will be open on Election Day from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. If you're in line by 7 p.m., you'll be allowed to cast your ballot. Don't forget your ID!
