Tuesday marks the first day of early voting for mayoral and city council races in Atlanta and around Fulton County.

What you need to know:

  • Early voting continues through Oct. 29 — from 9am to 6pm.
  • Fulton County will open 24 early voting sites. (Full list here.)
  • View the county's sample ballot here.

If you prefer to vote by mail, the last day to request an absentee ballot is Oct. 22.

  • Reminder: A new law that went into effect this year requires anyone requesting an absentee ballot to include their driver’s license number or another form of identification on the form.
  • You can deposit your absentee ballot in one of several drop boxes, by mail or at the elections office.

Our thought bubble: We’ll be voting early to avoid long lines on Election Day!
