Georgia voters may now request absentee ballots for the 2024 election. Here's what you need to know

Monday marks a significant day for Georgia absentee voters.

In ordinance with state law, all registered voters may now request a vote-by-mail ballot ahead of November’s upcoming presidential election.

Voters will have to wait a while as the state won’t begin mailing out ballots until Oct. 7. This stems from a 2021 Georgia voting law that prevents absentee ballots from being sent out until 29 days before an election.

To request an absentee ballot, Georgia voters must complete an absentee ballot application and provide address, date of birth, the county where registered and either the driver’s license or state ID number, the last four digits of the social security number or a photo of a current utility bill, bank statement, government check, paycheck or other government document.
