Due to the new Voter ID law, you’ll want to make sure to bring the proper identification.  The six acceptable forms of ID are as follows:

Any valid state or federal government issued photo ID, including a FREE Voter ID Card issued by your county registrar's office or the Georgia Department of Driver Services (DDS)

  • A Georgia Driver's License, even if expired 
  • Valid employee photo ID from any branch, department, agency, or entity of the U.S. Government, Georgia, or any county, municipality, board, authority or other entity of this state 
  • Valid U.S. passport ID 
  • Valid U.S. military photo ID 
  • Valid tribal photo ID 

If you encounter any problems voting, we want to hear about it.  Email Scott (scott@repscottholcomb.com) or Ann (ann@repscottholcomb.com) with any questions or concerns.

There are two constitutional amendments that will be on the ballot.  Read the language of these on the SoS website here.
