🗓️ The Gist: DeKalb County Voter Registration and Elections is urging all registered voters to make a plan for voting in the May 21 General Primary Election.

🤔 Why It Matters: Advance planning can help ensure a smooth voting experience and prevent issues like arriving at the wrong precinct or missing the deadline to submit absentee ballots.

What’s Happening: On Election Day, voters must cast their ballots at their assigned precinct.

  • Voters can verify their precinct information at www.DeKalbVotes.com and view wait times.
  • Provisional ballots will only be available in the final hour of voting for those who arrive at the incorrect precinct.

📬 Absentee Ballots: Completed absentee ballots must be hand-delivered to the DeKalb elections office at 4380 Memorial Drive, Suite 300, in Decatur by 7 p.m. on Election Day to be counted.

🖼️ The Big Picture: DeKalb VRE Executive Director Keisha Smith anticipates a busy Election Day. “We’re anticipating a busy Election Day, and our staff is ready to serve,” she said. “We encourage all voters to exercise their constitutional right and make a plan to vote.”
