Gwinnett County Voter Registration Guide

Registering to vote in Gwinnett County is straightforward, but the deadline matters. Georgia requires you to be registered at least 29 days before an election, and if you miss the cutoff you cannot vote in that election.

This guide covers every way to register in Gwinnett, how to check your registration, how to update it if you have moved, and what you need to know about voter ID at the polls.

How to Register to Vote in Gwinnett County

Gwinnett County residents can register to vote online, by mail, or in person at several county offices. You must be a U.S. citizen, a resident of Georgia and of Gwinnett County, and at least 17½ years old (you can vote at 18).

Register Online

The fastest way to register is through the Georgia My Voter Page (MVP) or the Georgia Online Voter Registration system. You will need a Georgia driver's license or state ID number. The online system confirms your identity through the Department of Driver Services.

Register by Mail

Download and print the Georgia Voter Registration Application (Form SSD-VR-1). Mail the completed, signed form to:

Gwinnett County Board of Registrations and Elections
455 Grayson Highway, Suite 200
Lawrenceville, GA 30046

Mail-in applications must be postmarked at least 29 days before the election.

Register in Person

You can register at any of these Gwinnett County locations:

• Gwinnett County Board of Registrations and Elections — 455 Grayson Highway, Suite 200, Lawrenceville, GA 30046
• Any Gwinnett County Public Library branch
• Georgia Department of Driver Services (DDS) — you can register when you get or renew your driver's license
• Gwinnett County tag offices (when renewing vehicle tags)

Registration Deadlines

Georgia's registration deadline is 29 days before an election. If you miss it, you cannot vote in that election — but you can still register and vote in future elections.

Check Your Voter Registration

You should check your registration before every election — especially if you have not voted recently, have moved, or are concerned about voter-roll maintenance. Use the Georgia My Voter Page (MVP) to:

• Confirm you are registered and active
• View your assigned precinct and polling place
• See your sample ballot
• Track your absentee ballot (if requested)
• View your early-voting locations

Enter your first name, last name, county (Gwinnett), and date of birth. The MVP portal is the official, authoritative source for your voter information.

Update Your Registration

You must update your voter registration if you have:

• Moved within Gwinnett County — update your address so you are assigned to the correct precinct
• Changed your name — update your registration with your new legal name
• Moved to Gwinnett from another Georgia county — re-register in Gwinnett
• Moved to Gwinnett from another state — register as a new Georgia voter

Updates can be made online through the MVP portal, by mail using the same registration form, or in person at the Board of Registrations and Elections office. Address updates must be received by the registration deadline.

Voter ID Requirements

Georgia law requires photo identification to vote in person. Accepted forms of ID include:

• Georgia driver's license (even if expired)
• Georgia state-issued ID card
• U.S. passport
• U.S. military photo ID
• Tribal photo ID
• Georgia concealed carry weapons license

If you do not have any of these forms of ID, you can obtain a free Georgia Voter ID card from any DDS office. If you arrive at the polls without ID, you may vote a provisional ballot — but you must present ID to the county elections office within three days for your ballot to count.

Who Maintains the Gwinnett Voter Rolls?

The Gwinnett County Board of Registrations and Elections maintains the county's voter rolls. The board processes new registrations, address updates, cancellations, and voter-roll challenges. Georgia law allows any registered voter to challenge another voter's registration if they believe the registration is improper — a process covered in our Election Integrity guide.

• Check your registration on the My Voter Page before every election
