VOTER INFORMATION

---

*  The Republican controlled Georgia legislature made voting more restrictive in 2021.   The so-called Election Integrity Act reduces time for absentee voting, limits vote drop boxes, changes ID requirements and permits the legislature to remove voting officials.  

*  Also, Coweta's voting districts have been changed by redistricting.  The U.S. Constitution requires a census every ten years so that elected representatives have equal populations  As a result of the the 2020 census,. voting districts  have been redrawn.  See where to vote at my voter page: https://mvp.sos.ga.gov/.

Absentee Voting By Mail           TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE.

Because of the new shortened mail-in ballot period, Democrats advise those who are able to  get to the polls, to VOTE EARLY AND VOTE IN PERSON

*  Any registered Georgian may vote absentee for any reason.   

*  Because of restricted period made by the 2021 Georgia Republican legislature, a voter's (1) absentee voting ballot request and (2)  return of the completed absentee ballot, must be made quickly.    There is little time for correction of mistakes, so fill in carefully.

*  You must apply for an absentee ballot between 78 days to 11 days, before the election date.  Electionn Day is November 8, 2022.

*  The County may not mail the ballot earlier than 4 weeks before the election date.

*  A photo ID is required to both request a ballot and fill out the ballot.  A Ga Driver's Licence or valid Ga ID provide a required identifying number.  To get free Voter ID help, call or text 844-338-8743 or chair.cowetadems@gmail.com
