To begin the request, enter your first and last name, date of birth and state ID or drivers license number, plus the county in which you are registered. This information matches what is in your registration record.
 
You do not have to provide a signature for the online application, but still must if you fill out a paper form.
 
On the next page of the request form, you can choose to send the ballot to your permanent address on file, mailing address on file or a temporary out of county or out of state address.
 
Next, you can enter your phone number and email address for elections officials to contact you for a number of reasons, including if there are issues with your application or ballot once it is returned. If you leave an email address, you will get a confirmation once your application is submitted.
 
The earlier you submit an application, the easier the workload is for the county elections officials.
 
The online portal also minimizes the chance for errors and problems.
 
After completing your request, you can track the absentee process on the state’s My Voter Page, www.mvp.sos.ga.gov, to see the date your application was received, the date the ballot is issued, and the date it is accepted by your local elections office once you return it.
