When you arrive at your polling place, you will complete
a voter's certificate which asks for your name and
residence address. You will then present the certificate
and proper identification to the poll officials who will
verify that you are a registered voter in that precinct
by checking the voters list for that precinct. Voters
are required to present identification at their polling
place prior to casting their ballot.
Proper
identification shall consist of any one of the
following:
-
a
Georgia driver's license which was properly issued
by the appropriate state agency;
-
a
valid voter identification card or other valid
identification card issued by a branch, department,
agency, or entity of the State of Georgia, any other
state, or the United States authorized by law to
issue personal identification containing a
photograph;
-
a valid United States passport;
-
a valid
employee identification card containing a photograph
of the elector and issued by any branch, department,
agency, or entity of the United States government,
this state, or any county, municipality, board,
authority, or other entity of this state;
-
a valid United
States military identification card containing a
photograph of the elector;
-
a valid tribal identification card containing a
photograph of the elector.
A first time registrant by mail may also provide one
of the following additional forms of identification:
a copy of a current utility bill, bank statement,
government check, paycheck or other government
document that shows the name and address of the
elector.
If the elector is a first time registrant by mail
who did not provide one of the acceptable forms of
ID at the time of registration this voter must show
proper identification. If the elector is unable to
show identification at the time of voting they may
vote a provisional ballot which will be counted only
if the voter presents identification within the 2
day period following the election.
