June 9 is the day of the Presidential & state primaries and local election!
Ways to vote
By mail: Voting by mail is the method of choice for this election. You can request a ballot be mailed to you by downloading this form, filling it out and emailing it to paula.williams@accgov.com. Or, you can print it out and mail it back to: Athens-Clarke County Board of Elections, P.O. Box 1828, Athens, GA 30603
After you do this, they will mail you a ballot. To track the status of your absentee ballot, go to www.mvp.sos.ga.gov. If you have any questions about this process, call the Board of Elections office at 706-613-3150.
(Your mail-in ballot may ask you to seal an inner envelope before you mail your ballot back. If you were only given a sleeve though, no worries, just insert your ballot in the sleeve before you mail it back in the larger envelope. No need to seal it.)

Who’s running?
You may wish to check out a sample ballot before you vote.
These ballots are for Commission and School Board District 4 (and state house district 117) — note that you may have other candidates running for those seats in your district. The rest of the ballot should be the same for most people in Athens.
