Attention Georgia voters: Check your voter registrations today and make sure you’re signed up to vote in the presidential election.
The voter registration deadline was Monday, Oct. 7, the last day to become eligible to vote in the Nov. 5 election and ensure that your address is correct.
Georgia elections are open to U.S. citizens who aren’t serving a felony sentence and are at least 18 years old by the time they vote.
Voters can verify their registration information and find their polling place through the state’s My Voter Page.
“We encourage any and all eligible citizens to register to vote and to verify their registration, and not to assume that just because they registered to vote when they turned 18 that they are still registered today,” said Travis Doss, president of Georgia’s election officials association.

Registrations can be canceled if voters haven’t participated in elections in recent years or because activists have challenged their registrations based on information indicating that they might be ineligible or moved away.
There are currently 8.2 million registered voters in Georgia, a record high. During the presidential election four years ago, 5 million people turned out to vote.
Georgians can review their registration information online through the My Voter Page. All voters are required to show ID before casting a ballot in Georgia.
How to register to vote
Georgia voters can check their registrations through the state’s My Voter Page. Unregistered voters can sign up online through a link on the My Voter Page. Registration is also offered through driver’s license offices, county election offices and voter registration drives. The deadline to register for the Nov. 5 election in Georgia is Monday, Oct. 7.
