General Information

• You must register or change your address at least 30 days before an election in Georgia.
• There are special requirements if you register for the first time in Georgia by mail.
• Once you are registered to vote, you will receive a Voter Precinct Card which lists your voting location and representative districts.

Qualifications to Register

• You must be a citizen of the United States
• You must be a resident of Cobb County
• You must be at least 17 1/2 years old (but you can't vote until you turn 18.)

Where to Register

• The last day to register for any election is 30 days prior to that election
• Any mail-in applications must be postmarked by 30 days prior to that election
• If you move, you must notify us 30 days prior to any election
• If you are not sure if you are registered, please call or email us first. Duplicate registrations cost us a lot of time!
• If you move to another county, you must re-register in that county, using the State of Georgia Application for Voter Registration form. (No other forms, even if we send them to you, will "work" to register you in another county.)
• Note: If you move within Cobb County you must notify us 30 days prior to any election.
• If you have moved at all, do not assume you are still registered. You must notify us of your new address.
