The voter registration deadline for the upcoming metro Atlanta elections is Tuesday, Oct. 10.

Elections this fall are mostly for local governments, including the Atlanta Board of Education — but not Atlanta City Council. Many other metro Atlanta cities will hold elections in November. But the city of Atlanta held most of its elections in 2021.

So election day this year is Tuesday, Nov. 7. Early voting for the November elections begin as soon as Monday, Oct. 16. Any runoff elections would be Tuesday Dec. 5.

If you think you are registered, you can check and make sure online. Visit the Georgia My Voter page at https://mvp.sos.ga.gov/s/.

In-person and online voter registration options are available. To learn more, visit the voting and elections page for your home county (see list below) or the Georgia My Voter page operated by the Secretary of State.
