General Primary Election Day is Tuesday, May 24, 2022
Georgia voters will be asked in May to choose candidates for Federal, state, and local representation on the November 8 General Election ballot.

To participate in the May 24 General Primary, you must be registered to vote by April 25, 2022.
For City of Atlanta Voters
Eligible voters in the City of Atlanta will be asked to consider three infrastructure-related ballot issues that would put $750M toward funding transportation, recreation, public safety, and arts projects in the City. The measures will be presented for approval as two bonds and a renewal of the T-SPLOST (Transportation Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax).
