Early in-person voting for Georgia's statewide May 24 primary starts Monday.
The election features several key congressional and state legislative primary races, along with local races.
Absentee ballots are already available for anyone wanting to vote that way. Any registered voter can request a mail-in absentee ballot, either through his or her local county registrar or through the Georgia Secretary of State Office's website (www.sos.ga.gov).
If you want to cast a ballot in person, check with your local elections office to see where to go.
How to check voting status
Anyone can confirm his or her voter status online through the secretary of state's online "my voter page" website (www.mvp.sos.ga.gov/MVP/mvp.do).
You can use the same link to find a sample ballot or voting location, or to request an absentee ballot.
Information about local elections and your “My Voter Page” can also be found on the state’s “GA Votes” mobile application. You can download the free app for both Apple and Android operating systems using either the iTunes app store for an iPhone or iPad, or Google Play for Android.
And if you prefer to cast a ballot on a Saturday, state law requires the polls to be open May 14 in all 159 counties.
