Congressman Barrow's office will hold a lottery for ticket distribution, and winners will be announced in January.

"The inauguration of the President of the United States is a time-honored tradition in this country," said Congressman Barrow. "Every four years, we make history with yet another peaceful transfer of power, and I'm honored that folks in Georgia get to participate in person. I encourage folks to apply online for tickets, and I look forward to seeing them in our nation's capital in January."

Congressional offices are allocated tickets for distribution for each inauguration. Tickets distributed by Congressman Barrow's office are only for the inauguration of the President.
