DeKalb County Voter Registration and Elections Urges Voters to Double Check Advance Voting Locations Before Heading to Cast Their Ballots

DeKalb County Voter Registration and Elections (DeKalb VRE) is urging voters to double check Advance Voting locations before heading to cast their ballots. 

“While we are seeing tremendous voter excitement and engagement during the Advance Voting period, it’s important for voters to double check our current Advance Voting locations being used this election cycle,” said DeKalb VRE Executive Director Keisha Smith. “There may be changes to some familiar Advance Voting locations that are no longer available, so be sure to check before heading out to vote.” 

Advance Voting is currently underway and continues through Friday, Nov. 1, Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. – 7 p.m. Saturday voting is available Oct. 19 and Oct. 26 from 9 a.m. – 7 p.m. and Sunday voting is available Oct. 20 and Oct. 27 from 12 p.m. – 5 p.m.

Absentee Ballot Reminders:

The deadline for requesting an Absentee Ballot is Oct, 25. If you’re planning to vote absentee, request your ballot here. Once received, fill it out promptly and return the ballot via a DeKalb County drop box, or at any Advance Voting location without a drop box. You can also return it by mail (if time allows), or by hand-delivering it to DeKalb VRE, located at 4380 Memorial Drive, Suite 300, Decatur, GA  30030. 

Absentee ballots must be received by 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 5, Election Day.
