Hi, a friend of mine has a problem we think. She went online to make sure she is registered "active" to vote. She is but it is for the county she moved from two years ago (Fulton). She now lives in Cobb county and her driver's license reflects that. I don't think she knew she had to fill out a new form if she moved counties. Since she is showing active to vote in Fulton will her vote be good and also will she be permitted into the Fulton County Polling Place even though her Driver's License shows a Cobb County address? I told her to submit a change of address registration from but the website says to change your address for voting registration it must be done by October 9th in Georgia to vote in this election. Totally missed the deadline.

Anyone know, we have read the FAQ's on the secretary of state website and Cobb county site and this exact issue isn't addressed.

She's good to go. Called Fulton County and they state she can still vote at Fulton County since she is active or she can do a provisional ballot in Cobb County.

If she moved two years ago, She would be committing voter fraud in Fulton, if she votes there. She no longer lives in Fulton, and has moved out longer then the allowed time limit. ( 30 days)

When she moved to Cobb she should have registered in Cobb, Cobb would then have told Fulton (thru the GA sec of state's office ) she moved there, and Fulton would have removed from the voting roles.

Her only Legal option is to vote in Cobb with a provisional ballot, so the Cobb Election office can investagate the status of her registration.

See item 3 on Ga Sec Of State website

Maybe she did a motor voter change and forgot about when renewing her license in the new county, does she recall doing that?

You can check on yourself online here to see if you are registered at the proper address and save yourself time.


EDITED POST

Just saw the updated post, good deal for her.

I thought I would share the link above anyway for others who may have a similar question about voting in Georgia.
