Woodstock 2017 Election Guide: Candidates, Polling Places, Hours

WOODSTOCK, GA -- Election Day is Tuesday, Nov. 7, and voters in Woodstock and Cherokee County will head to the polls to have their say in municipal races.

So, how do you cast your vote Tuesday in Cherokee County? First, you need to find your polling place. This can be done by visiting the Georgia Secretary of State's My Voter Page and entering your first initial, last name, your date of birth and choosing the county in which you reside.

The site will then provide the name of your municipal and county polling locations and their addresses. Voters will be asked to provide a photo ID when voting in-person. Polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday.

City of Woodstock residents will consider four races -- three of which are contested -- on their municipal ballots. Those residents, along with unincorporated Cherokee County voters, will also consider renewing the existing sales tax collected by the county.

There is one caveat to Tuesday's race: city of Woodstock voters will have to vote at the Woodstock Public Library for the municipal races, but make the trip to their county precincts for the SPLOST renewal question. Woodstock residents can verify their county precincts by visiting the My Voter Page referenced above.

City of Canton voters will be able to tackle the SPLOST question and their City Council races at their municipal polling locations.
