First, many precinct locations have changed throughout the state of Georgia. Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger recommends visiting the GA My Voter Page to confirm your precinct location.

"Just check to see what precinct are you in now, you should have gotten a new voter card to say you are now assigned to this precinct. But some of the precinct lines have changed," Raffensperger explained.

A valid photo ID is also required for all forms of voting in Georgia. 

"We have photo ID for all forms of voting, which has really given voters a lot of confidence. So in Georgia, it's really easy to vote, but it's hard to cheat," Raffensperger said.

Voters can also expect to see 11 names on the Republican ballot and three names on the Democratic ballot. These were the names submitted by both parties to the Secretary of State's office in November 2023. The names are listed in alphabetical order.

Polls are open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday.
