Overview:

We've made it easy for you to check your voter registration and find directions to a polling place. Watch for The Clayton Crescent's complete election guide coming soon.

Early and advance voting for the May 24, 2022 General Primary election will take place from May 2 through May 20.

The Clayton County Board of Elections and Registration urges everyone to check their current voter registration status on the Georgia Secretary of State’s MyVoterPage.

Important Changes

All drop boxes are located inside the polling places. You can only drop off your paper absentee/advance ballot when the polling places are open (see times and dates below).

If you plan to vote absentee or advance, do not wait until the last minute to request your application. Turnaround times are shorter.
