Want to Beat the Iowa Causcuses To Vote For President?

Georgians can actually scoop Presidential voters in Iowa and New Hampshire this year.

The state opened voting in the Presidential Preference Primary 20 days before next week’s caucuses in Iowa through a mail-in absentee ballot.

The catch is that your vote won’t be counted until the "SEC Primary" on March 1st.

“In Georgia, we have a very responsive system for the public that allows voters to cast their ballot at their convenience. This, paired with our Online Voter Registration website (OLVR), gives unprecedented access to the polls for Georgia voters,” said Secretary of State Brian Kemp.

Georgia law allows for “no fault absentee voting” so registered voters can request a mail-in absentee ballot from their local elections office for any reason up to 45 days ahead of a federal election date.

Advance in-person voting will begin on Monday, February 8, 2016, one day ahead of the New Hampshire Primary.

You can learn the where and when of early voting, plus check out a sample ballot at the Georgia website.

You can also still register to vote in the primary online or download the GA Votes app on their Apple or Android smartphone.

You’ve got until Monday, February 1st.

“I encourage voters who are excited about their candidate to take advantage of these early voting opportunities. Voters can also encourage their family, friends, and coworkers to use OLVR or GA Votes to ensure every eligible Georgia voter gets registered before this historic election.”
