Alternate Ballot Return
Instead of mailing your completed ballot, you can return it to any one of the dropbox locations throughout your county (Fulton County ballots must be returned to Fulton County boxes; DeKalb County ballots must be returned to DeKalb County boxes). The boxes are monitored by video cameras and must be emptied by elections workers at least once per day. Find a list and map of locations at the Fulton County Absentee Drop Box page and the DeKalb County Absentee Drop Box page. Once you've returned your ballot to a dropbox, confirm receipt at the Georgia My Voter Page. If you are in Fulton County, you can return your ballot to any of the three Fulton County Registration and Election offices until 7:00 PM on Tuesday, November 2.  Drop boxes are only available during early voting. 
NEW: These drop boxes will only be available during regular voting hours and will not be available for the 4 days prior to the election. There will only be 5 drop box locations compared to the 32 in the last General Election.
​
If you return your ballot by US mail, it must be received by 7:00 PM on Tuesday, November 2, 2021.

If you have any problems or questions, contact your county Elections office:
  • DeKalb County Voter Registration & Elections Office at 404-298-4038

What if my absentee ballot doesn't arrive before Election Day?
If you have requested - but not received an absentee ballot - you can still vote early in person or on Tuesday, November 2, 2021 at your usual polling place. The process will take a little longer because the poll worker must view your record and cancel the absentee ballot request.
