The Art Place open for last week of early voting for runoffs

The Art Place

There are four days of early voting taking place this week—it’s more like three and a half—and a couple additional locations to cast your ballot in person for the U.S. Senate runoffs.

Among them is the The Art Place-Mountain View (3330 Sandy Plains Road), which is open from 7-7 Monday-Wednesday and from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Thursday, which is New Years Eve.

The same hours apply for the East Cobb Government Service Center (4400 Lower Roswell Road), which has been open for the first two weeks of early voting.

The Cobb Geographic Information Systems Office is continuing to post estimated wait times; a 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.

There won’t be any early voting taking place on Saturday, Jan. 2, or on Monday, Jan. 4. On Tuesday, Jan. 5, you’ll have to go to your usual precinct if you wish to vote in person on that day.

If you have an absentee ballot that you wish to mail, it must be received—not postmarked—by Cobb Elections by 7 p.m. Jan. 5, when the polls close.

You can also drop it off 24/7 at one of 16 designated drop boxes in the county also by 7 p.m. Tuesday. Four are in East Cobb:

  • East Cobb Government Service Center (4400 Lower Roswell Road)
  • Gritters Library (880 Shaw Park Drive)
  • Mountain View Regional Library (3320 Sandy Plains Road)
  • Sewell Mill Library and Cultural Center (2051 Lower Roswell Road)

Those voting in person must present proper ID, wear masks and line up according to social-distancing measures.

If you have an absentee ballot but wish to vote in person, you’re asked to bring your ballot with you. You will have to have your absentee ballot cancelled—which adds to the wait time—before you can vote at the polls.

Cobb Elections provides the links below for early and absentee voting:
