GEORGIA'S ANTI-VOTER LAW | SB202

SB 202 cuts to several vital mechanisms increasingly used by voters of color, including early voting, absentee ballots, and ballot drop boxes, and adding new and unnecessary ID requirements for absentee ballots. The bill also threatens groups like the League of Women Voters and its partners with fines for assisting voters with their absentee ballots.

The 2020 election saw the most significant voter participation in history, with Georgia witnessing an increase in registration numbers and voter participation—especially among Black and other communities of color. The provisions in SB 202 would eliminate Georgia’s growth in voter participation. Still, they would take voting rights backward in the state, particularly for voters of color who are undeniably targeted by the bill. For instance, SB 202 allows country registrars to eliminate Sunday early voting hours, used by many Black and Brown churches and faith groups to deliver community members to the polls.

“This new law intended to discriminate against minority and poor voters in Georgia,” said Jerry Gonzalez, CEO of GALEO. “Our communities will stand together to work against these Jim Crow tactics pushing to take our state backward.”

A primary election is an election in which registered voters select a candidate that they believe should be a political party’s candidate for elected office to run in the general election. They are also used to choose convention delegates and party leaders. Primaries are state-level and local-level elections that take place prior to a general election. Georgia utilizes an open primary system, in which registered voters do not have to be members of a party to vote in that party’s primary.

To vote in Georgia, one must be a citizen of the United States and a legal resident of their county. The voter must be at least 17.5 years of age at the time of registration and 18 at the election time.

Registration must be completed at least 28 days prior to the election. Registration can be completed online or by submitting a paper form.

Georgia permits early voting. Learn more by visiting this website mvp.sos.ga.gov

Absentee ballots are an option for registered voters who prefer to vote by mail instead of voting in-person. You do not need an excuse to request an absentee ballot. You must request an absentee ballot to receive one in the mail. Your absentee ballot must be received by your local County Board of Registrar’s Office by the time polls close on Election Day in order to be counted.
