If voting in the May 19 primary is on your list, you need to register by Monday, April 20. Georgia residents can check their status on the Secretary of State's My Voter Page or register online with a valid Georgia driver's license or state ID card.

The primary decides who gets on the November ballot for one of Georgia's two U.S. Senate seats, the governorship, and down-ballot races including lieutenant governor and secretary of state. Local offices are also on the ballot depending on where you live. Your My Voter Page shows a sample ballot with races and candidates.

Early voting for the May 19 primary starts Monday, April 27. Whether you're voting in person or absentee, you'll need to pick a Democratic, Republican, or nonpartisan ballot. Even if you miss the primary deadline, you can still register to vote in November.
