Dear Georgians, 

• If you have a good faith belief you are properly registered in your county, you have the right to vote with a provisional ballot. The provisional ballot will count if your eligibility can be determined within three days after Election Day by your County Registrar’s office.
• You can read more about provision ballots here: https://sos.ga.gov/how-to-guide/how-guide-voting#Provisional%20Ballot%20Voting%20Guide

• The Secretary of State’s page also has resources for voters impacted by Hurricane Helene, including help if you lost your ID due to the hurricane: https://sos.ga.gov/page/disaster-recovery.
• Some polling places have changed due to the hurricane. You can see the list of precinct changes here: https://sos.ga.gov/page/disaster-recovery#Precinct%20Changes.
• You can also look up early voting locations by county using the Advance Voting Location Information search here: https://mvp.sos.ga.gov/s/advanced-voting-location-information.
• You can also find answers to frequently asked questions and additional information from the U.S. Department of Justice: https://www.justice.gov/voting/georgia-hurricane-related-voter-assistance. 

• Georgia law permits overseas voters to request and receive a ballot electronically for federal elections. You can find more information about this option here: https://sos.ga.gov/page/military-and-overseas-voting. 
• All ballots postmarked by the date of the primary, election, or runoff will be counted if received within three days of Election Day. The ballot will not be accepted if it is returned by fax or email.

Georgia law requires that all counties provide polling places that are accessible to people with disabilities.

• Any voter who is 75 years of age or older, or who is disabled and requires assistance in voting, may vote immediately at the next available voting compartment or booth without having to wait in line.
• Every polling place in Georgia is equipped with at least one touchscreen voting unit that will allow you to vote while sitting in a chair or wheelchair.
• Voters may navigate their ballot using Visual Mode, which allows voters to navigate their ballot using an available accessibility device and visual display.
• Voters may navigate their ballot using Audio Mode, which allows voters to use headphones to navigate an audio ballot using an available accessibility device.
• Visually impaired voters can use an app on their phone to read their ballot.
• Voters may also use an Audio Tactile Interface (ATI) to navigate through and make selections to their ballot.
• You can read more about voting assistance for people with disabilities here: https://sos.ga.gov/page/voting-assistance-people-disabilities. 

• State law requires that voter lists be made available to the public, including names and addresses of registered voters. Georgia has a program called VoteSafe to provide for the confidentiality of residence addresses of certain registered voters who have been, or may be, subject to acts of family violence or stalking or who currently reside in a family violence shelter. You can learn more about the VoteSafe Program, including eligibility and application requirements here: https://sos.ga.gov/page/votesafe.
