Advance in-person voting for Georgia’s March 6 presidential primary began Monday and ends March 2.

Early voting varies by county, but state law requires that early voting polling sites be open on Saturday, Feb. 25.

Voters can use the voter education website at www.sos.ga.gov/mvp to find polling places, maps and more information, or they can contact their county registrar's office.

Voters must have one of these to vote: a Georgia driver’s license, even if expired; a valid state or federal government-issued photo ID, including free ones issued by county registrars or the state Department of Driver Services; or a U.S. passport, an employee photo ID from any federal, state or local government, a U.S. military photo ID or a tribal photo ID.

More information can be found by calling toll-free 877-725-9797.
