Prepare for the Fall

Hopefully, you have already voted and/or are preparing to vote in the July 31, 2012 election.  Please do not let Georgia's new voter ID law disenfranchise you.  Under Georgia's new law, voters must show a photo ID when voting in person.  Acceptable photo indenticiations includes:

• Any valid state or federal government issued photo ID, including a FREE Voter ID Card issued by your county's register's office or the Georgia Department of Driver Services;
• A Georgia Driver's License, even if expired;
• Valid employee photo ID from any branch, department, agency, or entity of the U.S. Government, Georgia, or any county, municipality, board, authority, or other entity of the state;
• Valid U.S. passport ID;
• Valid military photo ID; or
• Valid tribal photo ID.

If you lack any of the 6 above photo identifications, then the State of Georgia will provide you with a FREE Voter Identification Card, provided you have all of the following:

• A photo identity document or approved non-photo identity document that includes full legal name and date of birth;
• Documentation showing the voter's date of birth;
• Evidence that the applicant is a registered voter; and
• Documentation showing the applicant's name and residential address.
