If you haven’t done it mailed your ballot yet for the presidential electionit might be best to consider alternative methods to ensure your vote is counted on time.

With the deadline for mail-in voting fast approaching in Georgia, voters have until 7 p.m. on Tuesday, November 5 to ensure their ballots are received by the county registrar.

Given potential postal service delays, mailing your ballot at this time may not guarantee its arrival on time.

What should I do if I haven’t sent my ballot yet?

To avoid any issues, voters are encouraged to take advantage of in-person filing options. Many Georgia counties offer secure drop boxes where ballots can be dropped off directly. Each county must provide at least one drop box.

This method ensures that your vote is received quickly and counted without the risk of postal delays.
