Voter Registration

Voter registration is handled by each Georgia county. When you apply for voter registration at the Department of Driver Services' Customer Service Center, the registering process has just begun.

Your county's registrar will process your application to vote. You can also print a Voter Registration application online, then mail it or take it in person to the registrar's office or driver's license office.

If you choose to mail the application, send it with the appropriate documentation to:

• Hon. Cathy Cox

• Secretary of State

• State of Georgia

• P.O. Box 105325

• Atlanta, GA 30348-9562

Documents you'll need to send with the application include a copy of one of the following:

• Your driver's license or other photo ID

• Current utility bill

• Paycheck stub

• Other government document showing your name and address

You should receive your registration card within two to four weeks. Registration is open until 10 days before an election.
