Cox noted that

in Georgia, citizens do not register by party affiliation and may choose

which party's primary to participate in on election day.

Registered

voters who are 75 or older, disabled, who will be out of their precinct

from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on election day, or who meet other statutory requirements

may submit an application for an absentee ballot to their county voter

registrar. Absentee ballot applications are also available on the Secretary

of State's Web site, or a voter may simply mail or fax a letter to their

county voter registrar requesting an absentee ballot.

The letter

should include name, address, date of birth, the address to which the

ballot is to be mailed, the election for which the ballot is requested,

and the reason for requesting the ballot.
