Don’t Forget to Vote

Vote . . .  It is your right as an American.  The Atlanta real estate community and Atlanta home owners have three ways to vote early:

1. Request, fill out and return an absentee ballot. Georgia recently changed its law to eliminate the requirement that absentee voters must have a valid excuse for voting absentee. Officials will begin mailing out absentee ballots on Monday (9/29) to those who requested them.
2. Early voting, also referred to as absentee ballot in person, begins Monday (9/29). Voting is generally limited to just a handful of locations in each county or the office of the county registrar.
3. Advance voting takes the place the week of Oct. 27-31. More locations are available than early voting but not as many sites will be operating as there will be on election day.

Voters should contact their county registrar with questions about voting locations or requirements.

To cast a ballot in the Nov. 4 election in Georgia you must have registered to vote by Oct. 6. Those casting a ballot in person must present a valid, government-issued photo ID.

Go online to the Secretary of State to find out your voting location.
