Don't let the maps decide.
Georgia, your map moved.
Court orders and the General Assembly reshaped Georgia's congressional and legislative lines. Many workers in Atlanta, Savannah, Augusta, and Macon no longer know what district they live in. This page fixes that — and hands every union member the tools to register, protect the vote, and bring ten more workers with them.

How Do I Vote in GA?
Georgia rules: registration deadline, voter ID, early voting, absentee, polling-place lookup — explained in plain English below. No legal jargon.
Read the GA voting guideThe maps changed.
Your district probably did too.
After federal court orders under the Voting Rights Act, Georgia redrew its congressional, state Senate, and state House maps. If you voted at the same address in 2020, do not assume you're in the same district. Verify before you vote.
Knowing your district = knowing who represents you = knowing who to call when your local or your community needs an answer.

How to vote in Georgia
The rules every GA voter must know — short, accurate, sourced from the Georgia elections office. Bring this to your next union meeting.
Registration deadline
You must register at least 29 days before an election in Georgia. For the November 3, 2026 general election the deadline is October 5, 2026. Georgia has NO same-day registration.
Voter ID — required at the polls
Georgia requires a physical photo ID to vote in person. Accepted: GA driver's license, any valid state/federal photo ID, US passport, military ID, tribal ID, government employee photo ID, or a FREE Georgia voter ID card. Digital/photo-only IDs are NOT accepted.
Early (advance) voting
Georgia offers in-person ADVANCE VOTING starting the fourth Monday before an election and running for about three weeks, including at least one Saturday. Any registered voter can advance-vote — no excuse required.
Absentee (by-mail) ballot
Georgia allows NO-EXCUSE absentee voting, but you must request a ballot first. Request online, by mail, by fax, or in person. The county must receive your voted ballot by 7pm on Election Day.
Free voter ID card
If you don't have an accepted photo ID, you can get a FREE Georgia voter ID card at any county registrar's office or Department of Driver Services center. Bring proof of identity and residence.
Provisional ballot
If a poll worker says you're not on the rolls — DO NOT LEAVE. Ask for a PROVISIONAL BALLOT. By federal law they must give you one. Then call 866-OUR-VOTE immediately.
