Vote by Mail (Absentee)

Voting by mail is an option that any voter can use if they do not want to vote in person. If you want to vote by mail, you must request a ballot. 

Requesting a Ballot

The last day to request a vote by mail ballot is October 25. To request an absentee ballot, visit the absentee ballot request page on the Georgia Secretary of State website: https://securemyabsenteeballot.sos.ga.gov/s/

You can fill out the online form, or you can print out the form, fill it out, and return it to your County Election Office. Find your county election office online at mvp.sos.ga.gov/s/county-election-offices 

Returning a Ballot

There are three ways that you can return your absentee ballot.

  • Mail your completed ballot. For voters within the country, all absentee ballots must arrive at your county election office by Election Day. Allow extra time for postal and election office processing.
  • Hand-deliver your absentee ballot to your county registrar. If you registered as a disabled voter, someone in your household can hand-deliver your absentee ballot for you. Contact your county registrar for available drop-off locations. If you’re currently a military or overseas voter and you post your absentee ballot on Election Day, make sure it arrives within 3 days.
  • Bring your ballot to your county’s drop box. Each county has a minimum of one drop box, located indoors and available to voters only during operating hours. Contact your county registrar for your drop box location(s).
