Do you know who is on your ballot?

We’ve compiled an index of some of the major elected positions in state and local government and their functions to help you prepare to vote and become acquainted with how state and local government impacts your life and your community.

Know your rights

Under Federal law, you have a right to:

  • Vote free from intimidation.
  • Cast a vote by provisional ballot if there is uncertainty regarding your registration status or eligibility.
  • Receive assistance when voting if you are unable to vote unaided due to blindness, disability, illiteracy, or inability to read English; and you have a right to choose who assists you, so long as they are not your employer or union representative.

Under Georgia law, you have a right to:

  • Vote if you are in line by the time polls close.
  • Vote free from intimidation.
  • Vote and cast a regular ballot even if you are on the “inactive voters” list. In fact, voting is one of the ways to return to active status.
  • Ask to vote by provisional ballot if there is uncertainty regarding your registration status or eligibility.
  • Avoid waiting in line. If you are 75 years of age or older or have a disability and you are at your polling place between 9:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., you will not be required to wait in line. Tell a poll worker if you want to move to the front of the line. For information on the accessibility of your polling place, please contact your county elections office.
  • Receive assistance when voting if you are unable to vote unaided due to blindness, disability, illiteracy, or inability to read English. You can choose who assists you, as long as they are not your employer or union representative.
  • Vote after serving a felony conviction if you have served your entire sentence, including probation or parole. The right to vote is automatically restored once the sentence is complete.

ID requirements

When voting in-person on Election Day, you will be asked to present one of the following forms of ID:

  • Any valid state or federal government-issued photo ID, including a free ID card issued by your county registrar’s office or the Department of Driver Services
  • A Georgia driver’s license, even if expired
  • Student ID from Georgia public college or university
  • Valid employee photo ID from any branch, department, agency, or entity of the U.S. Government, Georgia, or any county, municipality, board, authority or other entity of Georgia
  • Valid U.S. passport ID
  • Valid U.S. military photo ID containing a photo of the voter
  • Valid tribal photo ID containing a photo of the voter

If you do not have one of these forms of ID, call 866-OUR-VOTE to learn about your options to cast a ballot.

Unable to show one of the acceptable forms of ID?

You can cast a provisional ballot if you are unable to show one of the acceptable forms of ID. However, for your vote to count, you have three days after the election to present appropriate photo identification at the county registrar’s office.

Report issues

Have you experienced or observed voter suppression efforts (e.g. polling place changes, voter purges, intimidation, or local practices that result in long waits to vote on Election Day)?

About Black Voters on the Rise

LDF’s Black Voters on the Rise (“BVOTR”) project broadens monitoring and tracking of voter suppression efforts in targeted jurisdictions months in advance of Election Day to identify as early as possible those suppression measures that warrant a responsive action.

Our local partners

BVOTR and local partners connect voters with a resource team to combat suppressive measures using public exposure/media coverage, advocacy efforts with local actors/decisionmakers (e.g. calls, letters, petitions), and, if necessary, a referral to litigation.
