What are the voting eligibility requirements in Georgia for those wishing to vote?

• A. U.S. citizenship, GA/county residency, 18 by election day, not a felon or mentally incompetent.
• B. U.S. citizenship only.
• C. Must own property.
• D. Must be 25 years old.

Answer: (A)

To vote in Georgia, you must be a U.S. citizen, a resident of Georgia and of the county where you vote, at least 18 years old by Election Day, and not currently serving a felony sentence or declared mentally incompetent by a court. These requirements ensure that eligible voters are citizens with a stake in the community, living in the right place, old enough to vote, and not disqualified by ongoing criminal punishment or a court ruling of incapacity. There is no property ownership requirement, and the age isn’t 25—it's 18 by Election Day. Note that felons generally regain voting rights after completing their sentence, including any probation or parole.
