Welcome to Georgia Election Connection for DBHDD.  This portal is offered as a resource for the caregivers of community living arrangement (CLA) facilities, which are supported in part by DBHDD and provide assistance to patients in exercising their right to vote.

Voting Through the Years: A Guide for Nursing Home Administrators and Residents is now available!  While the title refers to Nursing Homes specifically, the information in this video is equally relevant to assisted living centers and community living arrangement facilities. Similarly, the guide titled “Voting in GA - A Guide for Nursing Home Administrators v.3 2009” contains information applicable to your organizations.  We hope you find these tools useful.
