Georgia

For Georgia, in order to be eligible as a write-in candidate for President, there is a multi-step process:

1) You need to send a formal letter of intent to run as a write-in candidate for President and Vice-President, accompanied by a request for the forms that you will need to fill out. You send this letter to:

Mike McCarthy
Director of Elections
Sec. of State Elections Division
2 Martin Luther King Jr. Drive SE
West Tower, Ste. 1104
Atlanta, GA 30334

2) You also need to publish a notice of your intent to run for President as a write-in candidate in a newspaper of general circulation in the state of Georgia, which would be the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. You need to get an affidavit of publication from the paper, and a copy of the publication itself. You can publish this notice anytime between JANUARY 1, 2008 and SEPTEMBER 1, 2008.

THE PUBLICATION NEEDS TO CONTAIN THE CANDIDATES NAME, THE OFFICE HE IS RUNNING FOR, AND THE DATE OF THE ELECTION. USE THE LANGUAGE OF THE FORM PROVIDED BY THE ELECTIONS OFFICE, BUT YOU ONLY NEED THESE THREE ITEMS OF INFORMATION, NOT THE ADDRESS, ETC.

3) Complete and send the form received from the GA elections division to them, accompanied by the affidavit of publication and a copy of the newspaper notice itself. All of this is due by September 1, 2008, but can be filed at any time before then.
