A College Student’s Guide to Voting in Georgia | 2022
As you return to campus for the Fall, take a moment to answer one very important question: Do you have a VOTING PLAN for the November 8 election?
Voting as a college student living away from home can be a bit more complicated (or even more so if you are spending a semester abroad!). Careful planning now can make things easier in November. Your VOTE is your VOICE – make sure you are heard!
