Where can you drop off an absentee ballot in metro Atlanta?

If you do not want to mail in your completed General Election ballot, how can you ensure that the proper officials receive it so your vote is counted?

ATLANTA — Many people who are absentee voting in the 2020 General Election still find themselves reluctant to count on the U.S. Postal Service to get their ballot to their county's election board on time.

With the delays noted in various parts of the nation, those fears are not without their own merits, hence the idea of getting the ballots returned as soon as possible once received from the county electors.

Voters who do choose to mail their ballots are advised to do so no later than 7-to-10 days before Election Day, November 3. Any ballots that arrive after the polls close on Election Day will not be accepted.

There are other options available for Georgia voters who do not want to use the mail, however. Voters are permitted to deliver their ballots in person to their county's board of election.

The Secretary of State's website has a full list of those locations along with website and telephone number information in order to determine when the offices are open. Voters may hand-deliver their ballot to the offices during business hours.

In most -- but not all -- of Georgia's 159 counties, absentee ballot drop box locations have been made available for voters. These secured boxes are available beginning Saturday, September 19 and running through Election Day.

No matter what method you, as a voter, choose to deliver your ballot, it must be returned no later than 7 p.m. on Election Day, November 3, 2020.

Here is a list of the absentee ballot drop box locations for each of the counties in metro Atlanta. If your county is not listed, please contact your local board of elections to determine if there is a ballot drop box location in your county.
