ONE form of proper identification is REQUIRED to vote.
When you arrive at your polling place, you will complete a voter's certificate which asks for your name and residence
address. You will then present the certificate and proper identification to the poll officials who will verify that you are a
registered voter in that precinct by checking the voters list for that precinct. Voters are required to present
identification at their polling place prior to casting their ballot. Proper identification shall consist of any one of the
following:
(1) A Georgia driver's license which was properly issued by the appropriate state agency;
(2) A valid voter identification card or other valid identification card issued by a branch, department, agency, or entity
of the State of Georgia, any other state, or the United States authorized by law to issue personal identification
containing a photograph;
(3) A valid United States passport;
(4) A valid employee identification card containing a photograph of the elector and issued by any branch, department,
agency, or entity of the United States government, this state, or any county, municipality, board, authority, or other
entity of this state;
(5) A valid United States military identification card containing a photograph of the elector;
(6) a valid tribal identification card containing a photograph of the elector
A first time registrant by mail may also provide one of the following additional forms of identification: a copy of a
current utility bill, bank statement, government check, paycheck or other government document that shows the name
and address of the elector.
If the elector is a first time registrant by mail who did not provide one of the acceptable forms of ID at the time of
registration this voter must show proper identification. If the elector is unable to show identification at the time of
voting they may vote a provisional ballot which will be counted only if the voter presents identification within the 2 day
period following the election.
