How Georgia Votes: Are You Sure You’re Registered? 🗳️

The deadline to register for the Nov. 3 midterm election is Oct. 5. With Georgia regularly updating its voter rolls, checking, double-checking, and re-checking your voter registration never hurts. Better to find out now while there’s still time to do something about it!

Keeping voter rolls up to date is an important part of maintaining accurate elections, but sometimes eligible voters can encounter issues with their registration. One of the easiest ways to stay up to date is to check your registration before an election—and the best way to help prevent problems is to vote. Every election matters!

The League of Women Voters of Georgia will continue publishing our How Georgia Votes series every week between now and the Nov. 3 midterms. Follow along as we explore the processes, policies, and people that help keep Georgia’s elections free, fair, and accurate.

106 years ago today, the 19th Amendment was ratified, expanding voting rights to millions of women. 🗳️

While this was a historic step for democracy, the reality is that only some women gained the right to vote in 1920. Many women of color continued to face barriers that denied them access to the ballot.

Today, we honor the progress made and continue the work toward a democracy where every voice is heard. ✨
