Gwinnett County Sample Ballot Guide

Your sample ballot shows every race and candidate that will appear on your actual ballot at the polls. Reviewing it before you vote helps you make informed decisions and saves time at the polling place.

In Gwinnett County, you can view your sample ballot online through the Georgia My Voter Page. This guide explains how to find your sample ballot, what to expect on it, and why it matters.

How to View Your Sample Ballot

Your sample ballot is personalized to your registered address and precinct. To view it:

1. Go to the Georgia My Voter Page (MVP)
2. Enter your first name, last name, county (Gwinnett), and date of birth
3. Click "Submit"
4. Click the link to view your sample ballot

The MVP portal displays the races specific to your precinct, including federal, state, county, and judicial contests. Sample ballots are typically available a few weeks before each election, once candidate qualification and ballot certification are complete.

What's on a Gwinnett County Ballot

Your ballot depends on your precinct and the election, but a typical Gwinnett ballot in 2026 may include:

• U.S. House of Representatives — the congressional district that includes your address (Gwinnett is split across the 4th, 9th, 10th, and 13th districts)
• Georgia State Senate — your state Senate district
• Georgia State House — your state House district
• Gwinnett County Commission — the commission district that includes your address (if on the 2026 cycle)
• Gwinnett County Board of Education — the school board district for your area (if on the 2026 cycle)
• Sheriff — countywide
• Other county officers — Tax Commissioner, Clerk of Court, Probate Court Judge, and others on the cycle
• Judicial races — Superior Court, State Court, and other nonpartisan judgeships
• Ballot measures — SPLOST, E-SPLOST, or local referendums

Because Gwinnett is split across multiple congressional, state Senate, and state House districts, your ballot may differ from your neighbor's even within the same city. Always check the MVP portal for your specific ballot.

Why You Should Review Your Ballot Before Voting

Reviewing your sample ballot before you go to the polls has real advantages:

• Research candidates in advance — look up their records, endorsements, and positions before you are in the voting booth
• Save time at the polls — if you have already marked your decisions on your sample ballot, voting takes minutes
• Avoid surprises — know what ballot measures and judicial races are on your ballot so you are not caught off guard
• Bring your notes — Georgia law allows you to bring written notes or a marked sample ballot into the voting booth for your personal use

Don't Rely on Unofficial Ballot Guides

Many websites and apps offer "sample ballot" lookups, but they are not always current or accurate. The Georgia My Voter Page is the official, authoritative source for your actual ballot. Use it.

Ballot Measures in Gwinnett

Gwinnett voters may see local ballot measures — typically SPLOST (Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax) or E-SPLOST (Education SPLOST) — that authorize a one-percent sales tax for capital projects. These measures have direct implications for property taxes and school funding, covered in our Gwinnett Property Tax Hub.

Key Takeaways

• Gwinnett is split across multiple congressional and legislative districts — your ballot may differ from a neighbor's
