VOTE PEOPLE. NOT PARTY.
DID YOU KNOW?
Georgia is an open primary state, allowing voters to choose either a Republican or Democratic ballot at the polls, regardless of previous voting history or party preference.
If you voted Republican or Democratic in a prior election, you may switch and choose the other party’s ballot for Georgia’s May 19, 2026 Primary Election.
Regardless of your party affiliation, residents of Newton County Districts 2 and 4 can only influence the leadership of their county by requesting a Democratic ballot in the May 19, 2026 Primary Election.
