Voter registration deadline is approaching

Voter registration applications are available at the board of registrars’ office in the Madison County Government Complex, Monday - Friday, 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. Applications are also available at the Madison County Library and can be downloaded from the Georgia Secretary of State Website at www.sos.ga.us.

Persons who have applied for voter registration at the Department of Drivers Services and have not received a precinct identification card in the mail are encouraged to inquire about the status of their application with the board of registrars at 706-795-6335 or through the “MVP” option at www.sos.ga.us. Voters may also call toll-free at 1-888-265-1115 and use their Social Security number to access this information. Anyone with questions regarding their voting status should call the registrars’ office.

Feb. 6 is the last day for a voter to change their name or address if he/she has moved within the county to an address different from the address shown on the voter’s registration card. It is the duty of the voter to notify the board of registrars by this date so they can be placed in the correct precinct and list of voters, officials said.

For more information, call 706-795-6335.
