Voter FAQ

Can I vote absentee in the PPP?

YES! You can ALWAYS vote absentee ballot in ANY Georgia election. You don't need a reason to do so, if that's how you want to vote, you're free to do that. Absentee ballot voting is a safe and secure way to vote. In fact, you can go ahead and request your absentee ballot for the Presidential primary TODAY! You can complete and submit it directly to the Sec of State's office by completing the online application, OR you can print a copy, fill it out (remember you MUST fill out box 9 on the back!), and then send it in or hand deliver it to our local election office (71 Case Avenue, Trenton).

If you print out a copy, because there are TWO primary elections this year, we recommend you DON'T check any of the three "Ballot Request Opt-In" boxes in number 12 of this request form, even if you qualify, unless you're going to vote in the same party primary in May. If you think you might vote in the other party primary in May, leave the boxes in number 12 blank for now, and the day after the PPP, fill out another request form for the General primary in May and check whichever box you qualify for in number 12 on that one.

Does voting in one Party's primary commit me to voting for that Party for the rest of the year?

NO! Georgia has OPEN PRIMARIES, people are free to pick whichever party's primary ballot they wish to vote on. Doing this in no way commits you to voting for a candidate or party the remainder of the year. You're free to vote however you want in each and every election.
