The 2024 General Election is tomorrow, and it's your chance to have a say in the future of our state and country. Here are some important tips and best practices to help you make the most of Election Day and feel confident as you cast your vote.
Best Practices for Voting on Election Day
1. Plan Ahead: Polling locations are open from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Be sure to plan your day accordingly, especially if you're working or have other commitments.
2. Find Your Polling Place: You must vote at your assigned polling location. To find yours, visit Georgia’s “My Voter Page” here. This website provides your voting location, sample ballot, and other useful details. Make sure you know where you're going before you head out.
3. Bring ID: Georgia requires a government-issued photo ID to vote in person. Acceptable forms include a driver’s license, passport, or military ID. Make sure you have this ready before heading to the polls.
4. Be Patient: Depending on your location and the time of day, there may be lines. Bring water, snacks, or reading material to help pass the time, and be patient—it’s all part of the democratic process.
5. Know Your Rights: If you're in line by 7:00 p.m., you are legally allowed to vote, even if it takes a little longer to get through the line. Don't leave if you're in line when the polls close.
Feel Good About Your Voice
Voting is one of the most powerful ways to make your voice heard. No matter your political views, participating in the democratic process is a meaningful way to contribute to your community. Every vote counts, and tomorrow is your opportunity to express your opinion on the issues and leadership that matter most to you.
