April 21 is registration deadline for May 20 election; app available
Just a reminder that Georgians must be registered to vote by April 21 in order to participate in the May 20 Primary Election.
Also on May 20 is the nonpartisan general election for Chatham County School Board President.
“Every Georgian should have the opportunity to vote in the May 20th Primary Election,” says Ga. Secretary of State Brian Kemp. “The good news is that it is easier than ever to get registered to vote or to change your registration information.”
Georgians with a valid Georgia driver’s license can go online and register here.
The “My Voter Page” (MVP) app also allows Georgians to register to vote. They can view their specific sample ballot, find their polling locations, check voter registration status and track the status of their absentee ballot. All of this information is available on mobile devices on Apple and Android platforms. To find the app search for “GA Votes” in the app store.
It is believed that Georgia is the first state in the nation to offer both online registration as well as an innovative mobile application that enables voter registration like “MVP”.
