Input Sought On Polling Place Changes, Advance Voting Hours

CUMMING, GA — The Forsyth County Board of Voter Registrations & Elections is seeking feedback on proposed precinct and polling place changes, as well as the days and hours provided for advance voting during the 2022 election cycle.

Both topics will be discussed by the board in their regularly scheduled monthly meeting at 9 a.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 1, and are set to be voted on during a special called meeting at noon on Friday, Feb. 11. Both meetings will be held at the Voter Registrations & Elections Office at 1201 Sawnee Dr., and both are open to the public.

Proposed Precinct and Polling Place Changes:

The board proposes to change the boundaries of certain voting precincts resulting in the creation of additional precincts and additional Election Day polling places. If approved, these changes will result in 28 election day precincts and polling places in Forsyth County.

“After each election cycle, the board and department staff analyze the current precinct lines and polling places to determine if any adjustments are needed prior to the next election cycle,” Director of Voter Registrations & Elections Mandi Smith said in a news release. “Many discussions have taken place since the last election cycle on how to best accommodate our growing voter population throughout the county and one proposed solution is to open additional election day polling places.”
