Hello, Georgia voters! We know that participating in your local elections is an important civic duty, and early voting is a convenient way to make your voice heard. In this guide, we'll walk you through the process of early voting in Georgia's 2023 municipal elections to ensure that you are well-prepared to cast your vote.

## Am I registered to vote?
Before you head to the polls, it's crucial to verify your voter registration. You can do this online by visiting the [My Voter Page](https://mvp.sos.ga.gov). This page allows you to check your voter status, find your polling place, and get other important election information.

## When is early voting?
Early voting for the 2023 municipal elections in Georgia began on **Monday, October 10**, and will end on **Friday, November 3**, which is the Friday before Election Day. This extended period provides you with ample opportunity to cast your vote at a time that suits your schedule.

During this time, early voting is available on weekdays and two Saturdays: October 21, 2023, and October 28, 2023. The exact hours of operation may vary, but as a general guideline, you can expect the polls to be open from 9 am to 5 pm on weekdays and from 9 am until 4 pm on Saturdays. Remember that some local election officials might offer extended hours, but this can vary by county.

## Where can I vote? 
One of the great advantages of early voting is the flexibility it offers. During this period, you can vote at any polling place within your county. To find the closest location to you, check the website of your county's election office.

## What do I need to bring to vote?
 When you go to vote, make sure to bring a valid photo ID with you. Acceptable forms of identification include a driver's license, passport, or a voter identification card. If you don't have a voter identification card, you can contact your county registrar's office to obtain one. Additionally, there are various other IDs you can use, including an expired Georgia driver's license, a student ID from a Georgia public college or university, a valid employee ID from any government entity, a valid U.S. military photo ID, or a valid tribal photo ID.

 ## What if I need help voting?
If you need help with your ballot, don't hesitate to ask a friend or family member to accompany you to the polling place and assist in filling out the ballot with your choices. For those who are blind or have low vision, you can request an audio ballot. Polling places should also provide booths that are accessible to voters in wheelchairs.

 ## Who should I vote for?
Now that you know how to participate in early voting, it's time to make informed choices about the candidates and issues on the ballot. Enter your address on [Branch](https://www.branch.vote/setup) to see all of the choices that will be on your ballot and get informed about the candidates.
