Early voting (sometimes referred to as advanced voting) can help Georgia voters avoid crowds or find a time to vote that’s better for their schedules in the weeks prior to Election Day.

Unlike Election Day, you do not have to vote at an assigned polling location during early voting. You may vote at any early voting location within your county.

Early voting takes place Monday through Friday, and the second and third Saturdays before Election Day. Some polling locations may be open on the second and third Sundays.

During early voting, polls are typically open from 9 AM to 5 PM on weekdays and 9 AM to 4 PM on Saturdays. Exact hours may vary.

Local elections officials may allow early voting beyond regular weekday business hours, but it’s up to the county.
