We recommend that you apply at least one week prior to the election to allow time for processing the application and mailing the ballot. The last day for an absentee ballot to be issued is the Friday before the election, but a ballot issued on that date may not arrive through the mail in time to be voted and returned. Apply for your Absentee Ballot.

You can affix a Forever stamp and return the ballot by U.S. Postal Service. You can use another carrier such as FedEx or UPS. You can hand-deliver the ballot to the Poll Manager at any Advance Voting location (not Election Day poll).

There are two websites where voters can track their application and ballot:

1. Ballottrax where you will register to receive update notifications by text or email
2. My Voter Page  where you can login and click on absentee ballot status to see the latest status

By tracking your Absentee Ballot, you will see when the ballot is received by the Elections Office. Once the ballot has a received date, it has been accepted for counting. All ballots received by 7PM EST on Election Day will be counted. Make sure that you have signed the oath on the outer envelope so your ballot can be counted.

You must sign the outer envelope containing the Oath of Elector. We will review that signature against the one on your Absentee Ballot Application and on your Voter Registration record. We are looking for similarities and understand that signatures change over time. If we think there is a mismatch, you will be contacted and given an opportunity to cure the issue so your ballot can be counted. 

You will have to cancel your Absentee Ballot before you can vote in-person. There are instructions for cancelling your Absentee Ballot on the Absentee Voting page.

Alternatively, you can bring the ballot to the Advance Voting or Election Day polling location and surrender it to the Poll Manager for cancelling. If you don’t have your ballot with you when you arrive at the poll on Election Day, you will need to complete an Affidavit and the Poll Workers will call the office to have the ballot cancelled.

We cannot guarantee there will be six-foot spacing between voting machines. Poll Workers will do what they can to space things out, but we will have a large number of machines set up for this election.

We are asking all voters to please wear a mask while they are at the polling location. We will have a few masks available if anyone arrives without one of their own. We will not prohibit anyone from voting if they don’t wear a mask.

We are offering voters a stylus, sanitized between voters, so they do not have to touch the machines. Voters may also use their own soft-tipped stylus if they choose. There will be tissues available if voters wish to use them for holding their voter card, although the cards will also be cleaned between voters. We are also providing sanitizer and cleaning solution for wiping down surfaces. 

• Review your sample ballot by logging into Georgia's My Voter Page. 
• Make sure to bring your photo ID to vote in-person. See acceptable forms of ID 

During Advance Voting, you can vote at any location. We will have wait times listed on CobbElections.org  to help you find the shortest line. On Election Day, you must vote at your assigned precinct’s polling location. 

Log into My Voter Page to find your polling location for Election Day voting. Many polling locations have changed since 2018.
