The Georgia Presidential Preference Primary has been moved to May 19, now taking place alongside the non-Presidential elections (General Primary Election, Nonpartisan General Election, and Special Election).

Starting Monday, March 23, voters can request mail-in absentee ballots for the May 19 election. We urge voters who wish to vote by mail to request a mail-in absentee ballot as soon as possible after March 23. The State of Georgia allows absentee voting by mail and in-person.  

Requests may be submitted either by mail (P.O. Box 13757, Savannah GA 31416), fax (912-790-1519), scanned attachment sent via e-mail to voter@chathamcounty.org, or you may complete the application in person at the Registars Office.

You must file a separate application for each election and run-off election for which you are requesting an absentee ballot, except if you are a voter who is over the age of 65 or disabled, a military service member, spouse of a military service member, or an oversees citizen (temporary or permanent). Call Chatham County Voter Registration at 912-790-1520 for further details.

Early in-person voting is available 21 days prior to the General Primary / Special Election. Any eligible registered voter desiring to early vote in advance during this period may do so in-person.

No reason is required for absentee early voting.
