Register To Vote

1) Print and complete a Voter Registration Form and mail to:

Karen Handel
Secretary of State
P.O. Box 105325
Atlanta, Georgia 30348-9562

2) Visit your local county board of registrars to register in person.

3) Visit a local public library to obtain a voter registration form.

4) Register while you apply for or renew your driver's license.

In Georgia under the Motor Voter Act, it's easier than ever to register to vote.

Simply request registration at the time you apply for or renew your Georgia driver's license or state ID card. Many people believe that by registering to vote, you increase your chances of being served with jury duty. However, jury lists are now pulled from the driver's license databases so register to vote and make your voice heard.
