How to register to vote
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
I’m a day shy of useful on this, but if you missed Monday’s deadline to register to vote in the July 15 primary election, fear not — there’s always the general election in November.
Here’s how newbies (or any resident turning 18 or older!) can register to vote in Georgia.
Online: Fill out the registration form from the Secretary of State Web site and mail it in to the address. If you don’t yet have a Georgia ID, you’ll have to send a utility bill, pay stub etc. with your new address.
County voter registration offices: Visit or call for an application.
Cobb County, 736 Whitlock Ave., Suite 400, Marietta, 30064, 770-528-2581.
DeKalb County, 4380 Memorial Drive, Suite 300, Decatur, 30032, 404- 298-4020.
Fulton County, 141 Pryor St., Suite 4075, Atlanta, 30303, 404-730-7020.
Gwinnett County, 455 Grayson Highway, Suite 200, Lawrenceville, 30045, 678-226-7210.
Georgia Department of Motor Vehicle Safety offices: State law allows voter registration when renewing a drivers license.
State colleges and universities: Applications are available in registrars’ offices and in most offices of the vice president of academic affairs.
Government offices: Public libraries and other government offices have registration forms that can be mailed.
