Polls for elections open in 32 days

Polls for the city's election open in a little more than a month. But to be able to cast a vote, residents need to be registered.

That deadline is fast approaching: Monday, Oct. 5.

Fulton County is responsible for handling registration. To get all the details and forms to perform this civic duty, see the county election Web site.

The department's phone number: (404) 612-7020


You can register by mail, but the application must be postmarked by Monday. And there is a whole list of items you need to supply to get on the election rolls.
