March 7, 2022 is the earliest day for voters to submit an application for an Absentee Ballot for the May 24th General Primary Election.             Requests must be on the state approved form, which you can find the link below.  Simply print form, complete and sign.  You can drop off to the Registration office at 8700 Hospital Drive, 30134,  send it in the mail, or scan and email to bdofelections@douglascountyga.gov.  

In order to have a ballot mailed to you, you must complete and submit an Official Absentee Ballot Application.  It is very important that you submit your application with a signature that will match your signature on file with the Election office.  Your request must be on an official application. We can no longer accept your request on a piece of paper, it must be on the official application.  Click on the link above to print the application.  

Voters can request an absentee ballot 78 days before an election without providing a reason.  The last day to submit an absentee application is 11 days prior to the election.
