The Ballot
The franchise, not the fight. Registration, districts, deadlines.
The Top of the Ballot Is Set
Both November matchups for Governor and U.S. Senate were settled in June. Five statewide offices, fourteen congressional seats, and everything under them.
The Absentee Window Opens Monday
August 17 is the first day a Georgia voter can request a mail ballot for the November election. The last day is October 23. Almost nobody uses the ten weeks in between.
October 5 Does Two Things
It is the last day to register to vote in November, and the first day counties may mail absentee ballots. One deadline closes a door. The other opens one.
Received, Not Postmarked
A Georgia absentee ballot has to be in the county's hands by 7 p.m. on Election Day. A postmark buys you nothing.
In Line at Seven Counts
Georgia polls close at 7 p.m. on November 3. If you are in line at 6:59, you vote — however long it takes.
