Where to register to vote and where to vote in Georgia?
When you register to vote, your voter registrations are linked to your residential address. When registered voters move, they are supposed to update their registration records with election officials before voting.
You can vote only at your designated polling place. Make sure you are at the correct polling site and Election District for your address.
Under federal law, if you move within 30 days of a presidential election, you are allowed to vote for President and Vice President in your former state of residence, either in person or by absentee ballot.
College student voting in Georgia
If you move to a school address in Georgia with the intent of making it your fixed home, you can establish voting residency in Georgia. You do not need to intend to stay in Georgia forever. So long as you have a present intention to remain at your school address, an indefinite intention to move somewhere else at some future period will not prohibit you from establishing voting residency.
Students who lived in Georgia before moving to another state for school, and who wish to establish or keep their Georgia voting residency (i.e., at their parents' address), should have no problem doing so unless they have already registered to vote in another state. Like most states, Georgia allows students to keep their voting residency even if they move out of the county or state to attend school.
