Voters in all of Georgia’s 159 counties may now review their sample ballots on the user-friendly Secretary of State’s My Voter Page. The sample ballot is designed to replicate the display of a ballot marking device, as many Georgia voters will be taking advantage of at least 17 days of in-person voting, or voting at their precinct on election day, the Secretary of State’s Office notes. Once a voter logs in to My Voter Page, they will see the option “VIEW SAMPLE BALLOT” under their address information.
“Our job is to ensure that Georgia voters have the information they need to successfully cast a ballot,” says Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger. “Our Elections Division works tirelessly to ensure that the most cutting-edge improvements are available to election officials across the state and voters in all 159 counties. Enhancements like this make elections go smoothly.”
The new sample ballot provides voters an interactive experience with the option to select their choices on screen and print out a marked sample ballot to take with them to the polls. Voters are encouraged to take their sample ballots with them when they go vote to assist them with marking their official ballots.
The Secretary of State’s office also reminds voters that sample ballots sent by third parties or downloaded from My Voter Page cannot be used as an official ballot, and should not be returned to their county election offices.
