Georgia voters have a few more days to cast an in-person ballot for the state’s primaries, ahead of the May 21 election.

Early voting began in late April all of Georgia’s counties and continues through this Friday, May 17. Counties were required to offer early voting on at least two Saturdays, and some counties may offer early voting on Sundays. You must bring one of the seven accepted forms of identification to vote.

Georgia voters also had an option to cast a mail-in absentee ballot, though the deadline to request such a ballot was this past Friday, May 10.

The deadline to register to vote in the primary was April 22. Georgia does not register votes by party, so voters may choose to vote in either the Democratic or Republican primary, but they cannot vote in both.

This year’s election does not include the high-profile statewide offices, such as governor, lieutenant governor, or secretary of state, as those positions were all elected in 2022, and won’t be up for election again until 2026. Also, neither of Georgia’s two U.S. Senators, Jon Ossoff or Raphael Warnock, are up for election this year. The only offices that will be on every Georgia voter’s primary ballot will be a single state Supreme Court race and a single Georgia Court of Appeals race.

In Southeast Georgia, there will only be a few legislative races on the primary ballot, as most seats are not contested or will only appear on ballots in the general election. Most of the races on the ballot will be for local offices, such as sheriff, county commission, and school board.

During early voting, registered voters can vote at any location in their county. On Election Day (May 21) voters who have not yet voted can only cast a ballot at their designated polling place, during the voting hours of 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
