Georgia Election Central

More than a million Georgians have already voted at early-voting sites across the state, running about 13 percent ahead of this point in 2022. "We continue to break records each day of early voting," said Brad Raffensperger, Georgia's Secretary of State.

The window is open now and runs through Friday, October 30 — which gives you room to vote on your own schedule before Election Day on November 3. The goal is simple: vote early, on your own schedule, and skip the Election Day scramble.

The window opened on a Tuesday because the usual Monday start fell on Columbus Day, a state and federal holiday.

Put it on the calendar

Put Saturday, October 24, on the fridge — it's one of two Saturdays every county must open, along with October 17. Most sites run 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturdays, though some counties open as early as 7 a.m. and others stay open until 7 p.m. on weekdays. Sunday voting on October 18 and October 25 is optional, so check your county's schedule before you plan around it.

What to bring

Bring a valid photo ID — a Georgia driver's license, a U.S. passport, or your voter identification card will all work. During early voting, you can cast your ballot at any early-voting location in your county, not just a single assigned precinct.

Exact hours and locations vary by county. To find your sites, hours, and a sample ballot, check Georgia's My Voter Page at mvp.sos.ga.gov/s/ — or call your county elections office to confirm before you head out.
