SB 35 amends Chapter 2 of Title 21 of the OCGA by adding
that a person who wishes to register as an elector can also apply as provided
in Code Section 21-2-224 in person at the polling place in his or her residence
on the day of the primary election or in person at the specified location during
the absentee ballot period. In addition, a person who did not register to vote
in accordance to the deadlines can still go to the location of the primary
election or registrar’s office and vote after completing an official voter
registration application and providing necessary forms of ID. That person will
then qualify and be able to vote, or will not have enough time to be determined
qualified, and may be issued a provisional ballot, which must be signed by the
poll officer. If an error is found three days after the primary or election the
registrars may notify the election superintendent. |
