For Georgians who submitted absentee ballots, through the mail or at a drop-box, there is a chance that it was rejected at the respective county’s registrar office.

Ballots could be rejected for a number of reasons, such as an issue with the voter’s name or a signature placed in the wrong location. According to Georgia’s state website, “one of the most common reasons an absentee ballot is rejected is because it has not been properly signed.”

The state website notes, “If your ballot was rejected, your county elections office will contact you with a document to ‘cure’ or correct your ballot envelope.”

The first step Georgians should take is see if their ballot was rejected, which they can do at the Georgia My Voter website.

When on this website, if a resident sees that their ballot is listed as rejected, they must submit valid voter identification and an affidavit confirming that the ballot was, in fact, submitted by them.

According to GeorgiaDemocrat.org, residents must send any of the following to their county registrar’s office, via email, fax or in-person: a state driver’s license; valid government, military or tribal photo ID; or a utility bill, bank statement, paycheck or government document that shows the voter’s name and current address.

Additionally, the Georgia Democrats website notes that “if the county informed you the signature on your ballot did not match or was missing, also submit a signed copy of this form swearing that you are eligible to vote and voted by mail.”

Georgians must submit this information to cure their rejected ballot by Friday, November 6 by 5 p.m. local time.

On Thursday, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger issued a statement saying that as of 2:40 p.m. local time, “there are approximately 47,277 ballots still outstanding.”

According to the Associated Press, President Donald Trump currently leads Democratic candidate Joe Biden by .8 points in Georgia. Trump is currently ahead by approximately 9,525 votes, and the state has 99 percent of votes reported.

In addition to Georgia, 17 other states also provide residents the option to cure their ballots if rejected, including Arizona, which has only been called a Biden victory by Fox News and the AP. Voters in Arizona have until five days after the election to cure their ballots.

Newsweek reached out to Georgia’s Secretary of State office for comment but did not receive a response in time for publication.
