🚨 GEORGIA PRIMARY ELECTION DAY IS TOMORROW! 🚨
Your voice matters. Your vote matters. Make a plan to vote in tomorrow’s Primary Election! 🗳️
In Georgia, voters can choose ONE ballot style during the Primary Election:
🔵 Democratic Ballot
Vote for Democratic candidates only in the primary.
🔴 Republican Ballot
Vote for Republican candidates only in the primary.
⚪ Nonpartisan Ballot
Includes nonpartisan races only (such as judicial races or special elections, if applicable).
📝 Important Information About Georgia Primaries:
Georgia does not register voters by party. Any registered voter may choose either a Democratic or Republican primary ballot, or a nonpartisan ballot if available—but not more than one ballot style.
⚠️ Important:
Choosing a party ballot in the primary does NOT permanently register you with or affiliate you with that political party.
Before heading to the polls, make sure to:
✅ Check your voter registration
✅ Verify your polling location
✅ View your sample ballot
✅ Confirm voting hours
✅ Review acceptable photo IDs
📍 Research your local referendums (such as SPLOST, if applicable) and any party advisory questions.
