Ballot Tracking
To find out if the Board of Elections has received your application for an absentee ballot, when your ballot was mailed, or if your voted ballot has been returned view the Georgia Secretary of State website.
Forms
In order to receive an absentee ballot through the mail, a voter must first apply in writing by completing and submitting an application:
Advance Voting
Advance Voting for primaries and elections will be available beginning the 4th Monday prior to the date of the primary or election. Saturday voting for primaries and elections will be available on the 2nd Saturday prior to the date of the election. Voters voting during Advance Voting and Saturday Voting must provide one of the 6 forms of photo identification required under Georgia law.
Citizens unable to provide one of the 6 forms of identification will be required to cast a Provisional Ballot. The voter will then have 72 hours from the day of the Election to provide ID in order for their ballot to be counted. If the voter is unable to provide the proper ID in the allotted time period, the ballot will be rejected and the voter will be notified.
Advance Voting and Saturday Voting will be available in the Board of Elections Office during regular office hours during the time specified by law for primaries and elections.

The application must state the voter’s name, address, date of birth, the date of the election for which the voter is requesting a ballot, and the voter’s signature. During a Primary, the application must also state the voter’s party preference.
