Fulton citizens have more than one way to vote

Voters in Fulton County have three ways to cast ballots for the July 20, 2004 elections: absentee by mail, absentee in-person, and at the polls on election day.

The elections to be held are the General Primary and Nonpartisan Elections, Special Election for Fulton County Commission District 3, and city of Atlanta Special Elections (Special One Percent Sales and Use Tax Referendum, City Council President, and City Council District 12).

• Vote absentee by mail

Citizens unable to vote in-person on July 20 may fax or mail a written request for an absentee ballot. Voters must give a reason for their request, such as away from the precinct on election day, being an election official or public servant, having a physical disability, observing a religious holiday, or being age 75 or older.

The request letter needs to include the name and date of the election, voter’s name, address as registered, and date of birth. Also, include the address where the ballot is to be mailed, daytime phone number and voter’s signature.

If the request is made by a relative, the relative must sign the request and state the relationship to the voter.

The absentee ballot request should be sent to:

Fulton County Voter Registration,
Attn: Absentee Ballot
141 Pryor St., SW, Suite 4064
Atlanta, GA 30303

The fax number is 404-730-8839.

Applications for absentee ballots are also available on the County’s website, www.myfultoncountyga.us. Users should go to “forms” under the Department of Registrations and Elections.

• Vote absentee in-person

Voters may also cast their absentee ballot in-person on weekdays, 8:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m., at one of three locations:

Fulton County Government Center
141 Pryor Street, SW, Suite 4064
Atlanta, GA
(phone: 404-730-7072)

North Fulton Service Center
7741 Roswell Road, Room 209
Atlanta, GA
(phone: 770-551-7675)

South Fulton Service Center
5600 Stonewall Tell Road , Room 105
College Park, GA
(770-306-3050)

Citizens voting in-person will use the new touch-screen voting equipment and need to state a reason for voting absentee. Also, those who vote in-person the week before the election (Monday, July 12 - Friday, July 16) will not be required to have a reason for casting an absentee ballot.

• Vote on election day

The polls will open at 7 a.m. and close at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, July 20. Voters will again use the new touch-screen voting equipment.
