The Mountain View Regional Library and the Sewell Mill Library and Cultural Center in East Cobb will be closed on election day because they’re being used as voting precincts.
They’re among the five library branches that will be used for that purpose, according to the Cobb County Public Library System.
The others are the South Cobb, West Cobb, and Vinings libraries. Polls open at 7 a.m. and close at 7 p.m. next Tuesday, Nov. 3. These libraries will reopen 10 a.m. November 4.
The Mountain View Regional Library (3320 Sandy Plains Road) will serve as the polling station for the Simpson 01 precinct.
The Sewell Mill Library (2051 Lower Roswell Road) is the polling station for the Powers Ferry 01 precinct.
Those precincts formerly had been at schools, and the moves are part of a continuing effort by Cobb Elections to relocate polling stations away from schools, mostly for security reasons.
Earlier this year the Cobb Board of Commissioners approved several precinct changes along those lines, including moves away from Dickerson and Dodgen middle schools in East Cobb.
A full list of precinct names and addresses can be found here. That’s where all voters casting their ballots in person will go next Tuesday, Nov. 3.
Voters can check assigned precinct locations and view specific sample ballots at Georgia’s My Voter Page site at www.mvp.sos.ga.gov.
Early voting continues this week from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday at the East Cobb Government Service Center (4400 Lower Roswell Road) and The Art Place (3330 Sandy Plains Road).
There is no early voting this Saturday or next Monday, Nov. 2.
Cobb GIS has created an estimated wait-time map at each of the early voting locations in the county.
The link to the map can be found here; if you click the information icon in the upper-right corner you’ll find a color-coded legend explaining the wait-times and other information.
Through Saturday Cobb Elections said 115,948 Cobb voters have voted early in-person, and 106,683 out of 180,242 requested absentee ballots have been returned.
Voters can return absentee ballots 24/7 until 7 p.m. election day at any of 16 absentee ballot drop boxes, including locations at the Mountain View and Sewell Mill libraries, the East Cobb government center and Gritters Library (880 Shaw Park Drive).
