To be eligible to vote you must be:

• A citizen of the United States
• A legal resident of Georgia and of the county in which you wish to vote
• At least 17.5 years old to register, and 18 years old to vote
• Not serving any sentence imposed by the conviction of a felony involving moral turpitude
• Not judicially determined to be mentally incompetent

Incarcerated Voters & Returning Citizens: 

In Georgia, you generally lose your voting rights if you are convicted of a felony. Your right to vote is automatically restored upon termination of your sentence(s). This includes probation, parole, and payment of fines. Note: Some felony sentences do not restrict your voting rights. For a complete guide on voting rights restoration in the state of Georgia, please visit your state’s resource. Pretrial detention and misdemeanors do not restrict your voting rights. 

Voters without traditional residence: 

Georgia residents with no fixed address and those experiencing homelessness have the right to vote. They can register to vote using the location where they are currently staying, such as a bridge, park, or shelter as their residence. However, it is important for them to have a mailing address, which can be provided by a shelter provider, to receive voter-related correspondence.
