Instructions and Help about voters registration form
[Theme Music] Hello Georgia! If you want to be able to vote in November,
you have to register first. You can check using the link below to check
and see if you’re registered already. But if you’re not, or if you’ve moved
since the last time you voted, you are already on the same website where
you can fill out a registration application. For those of you who have a valid Georgia
driver’s license, you’ll be able to enter that license number
and submit the form online. If you don’t have a Georgia license, they’ll
ask you to print the form out, sign it, and mail it in. Like, with a stamp. I know it’s annoying, but it’s important,
so do it anyway. The deadline to register is October 11 if
you want to vote in the November general election. So once you’ve registered, you have a bunch
of different options for how you can vote. Anyone in Georgia can vote by mail, otherwise
known as voting absentee, for any reason. All you have to do is download the form in
the link below, fill it out and mail it to your County Board
of Registrar’s office. There’s a link to all of their addresses
in the description. Technically, Georgia accepts absentee ballot
requests up until two days before the election, but the sooner you apply to vote absentee,
the sooner you'll get your ballot, and the longer you have to look it over and
make your decisions. Then, all you have to do is mail your ballot
back to your County Board of Registrar’s office so that they get it by 7pm on November 8th. You can also vote early in person from October
17th through November 4th. The hours and locations vary by county, so
there’s a link in the description where you can select your county, and it will
tell you when and where you can vote early. If you really want that excitement of voting
in person on November 8th, though, you can find out where to go to vote using
the same link you used to register. Polls are open from 7am to 7pm statewide,
and you’ll need to bring an ID with you. They’ll accept a driver’s license, state
ID, passport, military ID or tribal ID. If you DON’T have any of those forms of
identification, you can get a free photo voter ID card that
will also be accepted. To get one, you'll need to apply with a birth
certificate and a proof of address at the County Registrar’s office or the
DMV. The hours that those offices are open can
vary, so if you need one, apply for one now. Lastly, if you want to see everything that’s
you’re going to be able to vote for in addition to the presidential election, there’s a link below to where you can find
your sample ballot. It is, in fact, the same link you’ll use
to register and check your voting location. This gives you a chance to research the candidates
for your local elections ahead of time. You don’t have to vote for every item on
the ballot if you don’t want to, but it’s really helpful to know what’s
gonna be on there before you walk into the voting booth. If you want, you can even print out your sample
ballot, and bring it with you to the...
