You can vote Absentee even without an excuse.

Absentee Voting has begun for the July 20 Primary Election.
You must obtain, complete and return an Absentee Ballot Application. Once they receive your Application then the Election Board for your County will mail the Election Ballot to you to complete and immediately return to register your vote.

All ballots must received prior to the July 20th election. Applications for an Absentee Ballot can be obtained by clicking here, or online at the Cobb or Fulton County Election Board websites or on the Georgia Secretary of State website. Once you complete the Application for an Absentee Ballot you must fax or email it back to your County’s Election Board. The Mail and Fax contacts can be found on my Voting Process webpage.
