The Fulton County Department of Registration and Elections is preparing for the March 6 Presidential Preference Primary. Voters can participate by requesting an absentee ballot in the mail, participating in advance voting or casting a ballot on March 6.
Voters in Georgia do not have to provide a reason to vote prior to Election Day either by mail (absentee voting) or in person (advance voting).
The deadline to request an absentee ballot for the Primary is Friday, March 2. Voters can call the Department of Registration and Elections at 404-612-7060 and request that an application for an absentee ballot be mailed, e-mailed or faxed to them.
The ballot application can also be downloaded at www.fultoncountyga.gov. The Department recommends that voters request and return the absentee ballot application early so that they can receive, vote and return the ballot well before the deadline.
