Registering to vote is an important first step

in becoming an active citizen in our state and

country. There is another innovation offered

from the Office of the Secretary of State to help

Georgians get registered to vote.

Using the new Online Voter Registration System (OLVR), anyone with a valid Georgia driver's license can register to vote online at https://registertovote.sos.ga.gov/GAOLVR/ beginRegistration.do.

Students can use this system at the age of

17 1/2 years. Georgians can also use the new

My Voter Page mobile app for their phone or

tablet. It will give you individualized sample ballots, lists of elected officials, the ability to track your absentee ballot and much more. Simple search for "GA Votes" on the Android or Apple app stores and downloads the app for free.
