Request and return an absentee ballot
Any registered Georgia voter may request an absentee ballot without an excuse. Apply by October 23 and return the completed ballot to the county registrar by 7 p.m. on November 3 unless the UOCAVA receipt rule applies.

A free Georgia voter ID is available. An absentee application requires a Georgia driver's license or state ID number, or a copy or image of another accepted identification document.
