Voting by Mail or Dropbox – REV UP/AAPD
- Can I vote by mail?
- Any Georgia voter can vote absentee by mail without an excuse.
- How do I request a mail ballot?
- You must request a ballot online or by downloading and submitting this form by mail, fax, or in-person to your local County Board of Registrar’s Office.
- How do I fill out my absentee ballot?
- Georgia does not have an electronic absentee ballot (yet) available for voters with disabilities, so you must complete a paper absentee ballot. Make sure to sign your ballot or envelope when prompted, since Georgia requires this signature to match your past signatures. If receiving assistance, the person assisting you must sign an oath on the ballot envelope or the application.
- What if I want assistance with my ballot? You may choose someone to assist you with completing your ballot.
- The person assisting you must sign an oath on the ballot envelope or the application.
- How do I return my ballot? You can mail your ballot to your county election office or deliver it to a drop-box point.
- Contact your county registrar to find out where you can drop-off your ballot. Your ballot must be received by election day, so request your ballot as soon as possible if you plan to vote by mail!
- Do I need an ID?
- SB202 changed this answer – YES! You do need an ID when voting by mail.
- Can I track my ballot?
- Yes, you can track your ballot on Georgia’s My Voter Page.
