County voter registration deadline set for Oct. 6

Voter registration applications are available at the board of registrar’s office in the Madison County Government Complex from 8 a.m. to 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.

Those 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 “poll locator” option at www.sos.ga.us.

Voters may also call toll free at 1-888-265-1115 and using their social security number receive access to this information.

“If anyone has any questions regarding their voting status, they may call us for that information,” said the board of registrars’ office.

Oct. 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 in order for the voter to be placed in the correct precinct and for the voter’s name to be placed on the correct list of voters.

For more information, call the board of registrars at 706-795-6335.
