Voting Information

You may vote by mail in the Dec. 6 election if you choose. You do not need a reason or excuse to vote by mail, and a request can be submitted online, by email,  by mail, by fax, or in person. Nov. 28 is the last day to submit a request for an absentee ballot for the runoff election.

A photo ID (such as your Georgia driver’s license, passport, or state identification card) is required to request and cast an absentee ballot.

Click here to visit the Secretary of State’s website and read carefully for the full process of requesting and submitting an absentee ballot.

Once you request, receive, and fill out your absentee ballot, you may officially cast the ballot by:

1. Mailing the ballot back to the Floyd County elections office
   • Follow the directions included with your ballot closely to ensure the ballot arrives and is counted.
   • The ballot must be received at the office by Election Day.
2. Hand-delivering the absentee ballot in person at the Floyd County elections office on or before Election Day.
   • The address is 18 E. 12th St. Rome, GA 30161-9313.
   • Click here for more information on how to contact the Floyd County Board of Elections to submit your ballot.

To verify your  ballot was received and accepted, visit the “My Voter Page” on the Secretary of State’s website by clicking here, navigate to the “Absentee Ballot Portal” tab at the top of the page, and check to see your ballot requested for this cycle is marked “accepted.”

• If your ballot was rejected, your county elections office will contact you with a document to “cure” or correct your ballot envelope. Contact the Floyd County Registrar to get more information and find out what your options are.

If you do not receive your absentee ballot after submitting your application, contact the Floyd County Registrar to assess your options. If there is not enough time to receive a new absentee ballot, or if for any reason you cannot have another sent to you, you may vote in person. If you attempt to vote in person because you never received a requested absentee ballot, you will have to sign a document attesting that you are only voting once.

If you request and return an absentee ballot, you cannot change your mind and vote in person. Once you return your absentee ballot, you have voted.
