IMPORTANT UPDATES ON FINAL DAYS OF EARLY VOTING, ABSENTEE BALLOTS & ELECTION DAY
The November 3, 2020 election is now just days away!
Fulton County has already seen record turnout with nearly 250,000 voting at our Early Voting locations and 112,000 Absentee Ballots received. Feel free to check DAILY TURNOUT TOTALS at each of our 30+ early voting sites.
After a few equipment challenges, we are pleased that the Election process in our County has gone so well overall. The Georgia Secretary of State has complimented the County on the large number of Early Voting sites, the numerous machines available at most locations and reasonable wait times for most voters.
I wanted to share some important information that will ensure the process goes smoothly for you if you are voting early in these final days or planning to vote on Election Day.
EARLY VOTING
Early voting will continue until this Friday, October 30, 2020 at more than 30 locations, including State Farm Arena, some senior centers and at outreach sites on college campuses. Remember you can vote at ANY location during Early Voting but on Election Day, you must go to your assigned polling precinct. Check updated WAIT TIMES here.
Our elections team is following all safety protocols including spacing voting machines apart from one another and sanitizing styluses used on touchscreen voting machines after every use. For your part, we encourage you to wear masks when voting and maintain a safe distance from others. If you do not have a mask, poll workers are happy to provide them.
MOBILE VOTING BUS SCHEDULE AND LOCATIONS
We were excited when Fulton County rolled out the very first mobile voting units in Georgia this election season. Thousands have already taken advantage of the convenient option when the bus comes to their neighborhood. See the schedule below and note that on the final two days of Early Voting, the bus will be posted at the two busiest locations in the County, which we are still determining.
ABSENTEE BALLOTS
You officially have until October 30, 2020 to request an Absentee Ballot. However, we feel it's important to point out that there is a good chance you may NOT receive it in time for Election Day due to the length of time it is taking for mail delivery. Your best bet is to consider Early Voting or voting in person on November 3, 2020.
If you have already received an Absentee Ballot but have not yet returned it, please consider dropping it off at one of our 35+ secure Absentee Ballot Drop boxes conveniently located throughout the County.
If you have already requested or returned your Absentee Ballot, you can track the status using BALLOTTRAX.
90+ PRECINCT CHANGES
It is so important to "Know Before You Go" to the polls on Election Day, as some 90 precinct sites have changed and you may be assigned to a different polling site. Notices advising you of your current precinct location were mailed out, but I also encourage you to CHECK THE GEORGIA MY VOTER PAGE for information before November 3, 2020, so you're familiar with where you need to be on Tuesday..
