What are the voting requirements in Georgia?

• A. Must be a US citizen at least 18 and a legal resident of Georgia
• B. Must be a natural-born citizen of Georgia
• C. Must be at least 21 and a resident of Georgia
• D. Must be a resident of Georgia with no citizenship requirement

Answer: (A)

To vote in Georgia, you must be a United States citizen, at least 18 years old, and a legal resident of Georgia. This combination covers who is eligible: citizenship ensures you have the right to participate in federal, state, and local elections; age 18 ensures you’re an adult voter; and state residency shows you live in Georgia and can vote in its elections. Natural-born status isn’t required—naturalized citizens can vote as well—so needing to be born in Georgia isn’t correct. The age requirement is 18, not 21, so that part isn’t accurate. And there is a citizenship requirement, so a statement with no citizenship requirement isn’t correct. (Also, note that you typically must be registered to vote by a deadline before the election.)
