Once you hold a Georgia driver’s license or state ID, registering to vote takes about 5 minutes online through the Georgia Secretary of State’s registration portal at registertovote.sos.ga.gov. You’ll need your license number and the last 4 digits of your Social Security number. DDS also offers registration when you get your license. Say yes and skip this step entirely.
Requirements: you must be a U.S. citizen, a legal resident of your county, and at least 17.5 years old to register (18 to vote). Registration closes 29 days before any election, so register when you arrive rather than when an election approaches.
After registering, confirm everything at the state’s My Voter Page (mvp.sos.ga.gov), which shows your polling place, districts, and sample ballots. If you moved from another state, your old registration doesn’t cancel automatically. Contact your previous county’s election office to cancel so you’re not carried on 2 rolls.
County election offices: Bryan County Board of Elections in Pembroke, Effingham County Board of Elections in Springfield, Chatham County Board of Registrars in Savannah.
