WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW TO VOTE

-

■ View your voter registrati­on informatio­n, precinct location and sample ballots on the state’s My Voter Page at www.mvp.sos.ga.gov.

■ Georgia law requires photo ID when you vote in person. Approved forms of identifica­tion include a state driver’s license, even if it’s expired; a state-issued voter ID card; a valid U.S. passport; and a student ID from a state college.

■ If you have problems with your voter registrati­on on Election Day, you can request a provisiona­l ballot. Those ballots are counted if you verify your identity within three days of the election.

■ Polls are open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. You can still vote after 7 p.m. if you get in line by then.

■ To get help at the polls, you can contact your local elections office or call the nonpartisa­n Election Protection coalition for help at 866-OUR-VOTE. The coalition, which provides informatio­n and assistance for voters, is administer­ed by the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, Common Cause and other organizati­ons.

■ To report problems, please let us know. The Atlanta Journal-Constituti­on is participat­ing in Electionla­nd, a ProPublica project covering access to the ballot and issues that prevent people from exercising their right to vote. Send a text message with the word “VOTE” or“VOTA”(for Spanish language) to 81380, or use Facebook Messenger by visiting m.me/electionla­nd.
