佐治亚州选举日投票指南:投票站早7时至晚7时、中文求助热线1-888-274-8683

在佐治亚州富尔顿县亚特兰大市及全州,11月3日星期二为选举日,投票站开放时间为早7时至晚7时,晚7时仍在队伍中的选民可以投票。
据亚特兰大本地电视台 WSB-TV 11月2日晚发布的选举日指南,选举日当天,选民必须前往自己指定的投票站投票,提前投票站不一定就是选举日投票站;选民可通过佐治亚州务卿网站的「我的选民页面」查询自己的投票地点。
佐治亚州法律要求现场投票出示带照片的身份证件,可接受的证件包括佐治亚州驾照(过期亦可)、美国护照、军人身份证、佐治亚州公立高校学生证等。无法出示证件的选民可投临时选票;首次投票者须在选举后三日内向县选举办公室补交身份证件复印件,补交后临时选票才会计入。邮寄选票必须在11月3日晚7时前送达县选举办公室。
亚裔选民权益组织 APIAVote 运营的选举保护多语种热线1-888-274-8683(1-888-API-VOTE)提供包括普通话与粤语在内的双语协助;依据联邦《投票权法》第208条,选民也可自带翻译人员陪同投票。

Georgia Election Day Voting Guide: Polls Open 7 to 7, Chinese-Language Help Line 1-888-274-8683
In Atlanta, Fulton County, and across Georgia, Tuesday, November 3 is Election Day, with polls open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.; voters in line by 7 p.m. are allowed to cast a ballot.
According to an Election Day guide published by Atlanta television station WSB-TV on the evening of November 2, voters must vote at their designated polling place on Election Day, and an early voting site is not necessarily their Election Day site; voters can look up their location through the My Voter Page on the Georgia Secretary of State's website.
Georgia law requires photo ID to vote in person. Acceptable forms include a Georgia driver's license (even if expired), a U.S. passport, a military ID and student IDs from Georgia public colleges. Voters unable to show ID may cast a provisional ballot; first-time voters must provide a copy of their ID to the county elections office within three days after the election for the ballot to count. Mail ballots must reach the county elections office by 7 p.m. on November 3.
The Election Protection multilingual hotline run by APIAVote, 1-888-274-8683 (1-888-API-VOTE), offers bilingual assistance including in Mandarin and Cantonese, and under Section 208 of the Voting Rights Act voters may also bring their own interpreter to the polls.
