Note: If you register for the first time in Georgia, and you register by mail, but didn't provide proof of identification with your form, you will be asked to provide identification to the registrar prior to or on the day of the election.

Also, if you show up to vote and do not have one of the acceptable forms of photo identification, you can still vote, but by provisional ballot. You will then have two days after the election to present appropriate photo identification at your county’s office in order for your provisional ballot to be counted.
