The 2022 Absentee Ballot Application process opened for Fulton County residents on Monday, August 22, 2022 for the November 8 General Primary Election.
Absentee ballots provide the option to residents who need or prefer to vote by mail instead of in-person. Changes in state law in 2021 have brought many changes to the absentee ballot process.
To assist with the absentee ballot application process, the Fulton Absentee Portal is open as of Monday, August 22.
Those interested in an absentee ballot for the 2022 Election can go to www.fultoncountyga.gov/absenteeballot or to https://bit.ly/3dQGaXK to 1) request an application, 2) download an application, and 3) return the completed application by accessing the Fulton County Absentee Ballot portal.
