Election Day

The polls will be open for the November 2, 2021 General Election from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. You can verify your precinct and polling location by visiting the Secretary of State Poll Locator.

Come back to the Johns Creek Patch throughout the night for election results.

Absentee Voting

Absentee voting will be different this year with Georgia's new voting law. Last year, the State Election Board allowed local election offices to set up secure absentee drop boxes as long as there was around-the-clock video surveillance. But starting this year, drop boxes must be located inside the county's election office or early voting locations.

Absentee ballots must be received by your local County Board of Registrar's Office by the time polls close on Election Day at 7 p.m. in order to be counted.

ID Requirements

To vote in person you will need to show ID. There are six acceptable forms of photo ID:

  • Georgia Driver's License, even if expired
  • Valid ID issued by any state or the Federal Government
  • Valid employee ID issued by the Federal Government, the State of Georgia, or a county, city, or other government entity of Georgia
  • Valid US passport
  • Valid US military ID
  • Valid tribal ID

For more information about Georgia's ID requirements, visit the Secretary of State's page.
