Elections Moved to June 9

Georgians to Receive Absentee Ballot Request Forms

Georgia officials have postponed the March 24 Presidential Primary and Special Election and closed all early voting locations due to health and safety reasons. It has now been moved to June 9 due to the state’s COVID-19 pandemic response.

Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger announced that all Georgia voters will be mailed an absentee ballot request form to encourage voting by mail during the outbreak. These went out the week of April 20. You also can download a request form and mail it into election officials yourself.

Please note: Postage is requested when you return ballots and request forms by mail, but it is not required. The U.S. Postal Service historically delivers all absentee ballots and request forms, regardless of attached postage.

Voters will need to complete the absentee ballot request form before receiving an actual ballot. The voter registration deadline for the June 9 election will be May 11.

Early voting will begin on May 18. Locations have not been announced. Also, Fulton County is setting up drop boxes where you can drop your ballot without having to come in contact with others. The locations of these drop boxes have not yet been announced, either.

All ballots must be received by Election Day to be counted.

Be sure to check your voter status on the Georgia My Voter Page. You also can learn much more on the LMMNA Government and Elections page.
