More Polling Locations In Cobb Could Change Before November

COBB COUNTY, GA — More changes to Cobb County voting precincts and polling locations could possibly change between now and November. The Board of Elections hasn’t been able to secure new polling places as quickly as they would have liked, according to election officials.

Janine Eveler, director of the Cobb County Board of Elections, spoke to the Cobb legislative delegation Monday, reports the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. The county has already divided some precincts, as well as moved polling locations from schools. The decision was made due to concerns over security and voter access, reports the AJC. At least 50,000 voters are affected.

The board is also exploring ways to shorten lines on Election Day to prevent a repeat of the 2018 hour-long wait times.

A social media campaign to share information about the precinct and polling changes has been launched, letters too.

Registered voters can begin early voting for the presidential primaries in Cobb March 2 at two locations. Voters will have 10 locations between March 16 and 20th. Election Day is March 24.
