Voting in Georgia’s primaries and early voting is easier when you prepare ahead of time instead of waiting until Election Day. Here are the key steps for the 2026 Georgia primary season:
1. Check Your Voter Registration
Make sure your registration, address, and polling information are current through Georgia’s My Voter Page (MVP). The registration deadline for the May 19 primary was April 20, but it’s still smart to verify your status for future elections and runoffs.
2. Know the Important Dates
Georgia’s 2026 primary early voting runs from April 27 through May 15, with Election Day on May 19. Runoffs, if needed, are scheduled for June 16.
3. Plan to Vote Early
Early voting allows voters to avoid long lines and scheduling conflicts. During early voting, Georgians can vote at any early voting location in their county, not just their assigned precinct. Check out the locations and hours open for voting.
4. Bring Valid Photo ID
Georgia requires a government-issued photo ID when voting in person. Accepted IDs include:
- Georgia driver’s license
- State ID card
- U.S. passport
- Military ID
- Tribal ID
5. Review Your Sample Ballot Before Voting
This year’s ballot includes state, local, and judicial races. Reviewing your sample ballot ahead of time can make voting faster and less stressful. Go to Georgia My Voter Page now and study the candidates.
