Sunday, October 18
March with us following the 11:30am service from Eagles Nest Church to East Roswell Library.
Voting at East Roswell Library is for eligible Fulton County voters only. Everyone is welcome to march.
Three things to do this week
Everything below happens on Georgia's official My Voter Page. It works for every county in the state. You will need your first initial, last name, county, and date of birth to log in. Eagles Nest Church never sees or stores any of it.
Check your registration
Even if you checked it before, check it again. Confirm your name, your address, and that your status says Active. If something is off, call your county elections office right away using the county finder below. There may still be time to fix it.
Check my registrationMark it. Print it. Bring it.
On My Voter Page, open the Sample Ballots section and download your ballot. It will show the exact races and questions you will see on Sunday, including local contests and the three constitutional amendments.
- Read every race and every question. Decide at your kitchen table, not in the booth.
- Mark your choices on the printout.
- Bring the printed ballot with you. You cannot use your phone inside the voting area, but a marked paper sample ballot is allowed.
Have the right ID
Georgia requires photo ID to vote in person. The name on your ID needs to match how you registered. The address does not have to match, but the name does. Accepted IDs include:
- Georgia driver's license, even if expired
- Free Georgia voter ID card from your county registrar or DDS
- Any valid state or federal government photo ID
- U.S. passport, military photo ID, or tribal photo ID
- Student ID from a Georgia public college or university
- Employee photo ID from a U.S., Georgia, county, or city government agency
Find your county
Our church family lives all across metro Atlanta. During early voting you can vote at any early voting site in your own county. Tap your county to get your elections office, your early voting locations, and who to call if something goes wrong.

What's on the ballot this November
Every part of the ballot matters, from the races people hear about most to the local contests and ballot measures. Your sample ballot from My Voter Page is the official version for your address. Here is what every Georgia voter will see.
Statewide offices
- Governor
- U.S. Senate
- Lieutenant Governor
- Attorney General
- Secretary of State
- Commissioner of Agriculture
- Commissioner of Insurance
- Commissioner of Labor
- Public Service Commission (two seats)
Plus your U.S. House seat, state House and Senate seats, judges, and county and city races that depend on your address.
Three constitutional amendments
These are yes or no questions. The wording on the ballot is long and legal. Read them at home so you are not deciding under pressure.
Would raise the maximum acreage that qualifies for conservation use property tax assessment from 2,000 acres to 4,000 acres.
Would require all probate court judges in Georgia to be elected in nonpartisan elections, the way other Georgia judges already are.
Would allow the state to create a dedicated fund for building and running Next Generation 9-1-1 emergency systems, using the existing wireless 9-1-1 fee.
Things people ask us
I have a felony conviction. Can I vote?
In Georgia, once you have completed your full sentence, including probation and parole, and you are no longer reporting to anyone, your right to vote is restored. You do need to register again. If you are "off paper," you are most likely eligible. Check your status on My Voter Page or call your county elections office.
I got a text from Fulton County Elections. Is that real?
Yes. Fulton County Elections sends real text messages to voters. It is not spam. If a message asks you for money or a Social Security number, that is not them. Election offices never ask for that by text.
What can I bring into the voting area?
Your photo ID and your printed, marked sample ballot. Phones cannot be used inside the voting area, so do your research before you arrive. Georgia law also prohibits campaign materials, including clothing and buttons for candidates or parties, within 150 feet of a polling place.
I live outside Fulton. Can I still march?
Yes, and we want you there. Walk with us to East Roswell Library, then vote at any early voting location in your own county before October 30. Use the county finder above to see your options.
What if I am turned away or something seems wrong?
Stay calm and ask for a provisional ballot. Then call your county elections office using the number above, or the Georgia Secretary of State Elections Division at 404-656-2881. The nonpartisan Election Protection hotline is also available at 866-OUR-VOTE (866-687-8683).
How long will the line be?
Sunday early voting is usually lighter than weekday mornings, but hundreds of us walking over at once will create a line. Bring water, dress for the weather, and plan to be patient. We will have water and snacks at the church before and after.
How the day will go
Worship first, then we walk together. The route is short: out of our property, across Holcomb Bridge Road at the light, and onto the library grounds. Volunteers and security will be posted along the way.
Come to service as usual. Wear comfortable shoes.
Water, snacks, and voter information tables will be set up outside the building. Pick up a printed voting locations list if you live outside Fulton.
We walk together to East Roswell Library, 2301 Holcomb Bridge Road. A golf cart will be available for seniors and anyone who needs help with the walk. Just ask a volunteer.
Eligible Fulton County voters get in line to vote. Everyone else is welcome to stay and cheer, then vote in their own county this week. No food or drinks can be handed out at the polling location.

Souls to the Polls is a nonpartisan effort. Eagles Nest Church is not endorsing candidates or asking anyone to support any party. This is not about telling anyone who to vote for. It is about making sure every eligible voter is prepared to vote and understands the choices on the ballot.
Souls to the Polls is a reminder that the future of our community is shaped by all of us. We care about our country, our state, and our community, and we are showing it by showing up.
