PLEASE NOTE:
The early voting wait time maps are not being updated on runoff day, Tuesday, Jan. 5.
——
Back by popular demand, the Cobb Geographic Information Systems Office is continuing to post estimated wait times from early voting locations for the runoffs.
Early voting starts Monday and continues for the next three weeks for both U.S. Senate runoffs and a runoff for the Georgia Public Service Commission. The runoffs conclude Jan. 5, but there will be 13 days of early voting, plus absentee voting 24/7 through election day.
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.
During early voting for the general elections, the wait-time interactive map was periodically updated each day by the poll manager at each location.
For the first two weeks, the East Cobb Government Service Center (4400 Lower Roswell Road) is the only early voting location in this part of the county.
Those dates will be from Dec. 14-19 and Dec. 21-23.
From Dec. 28-31, you’ll also be able to vote at The Art Place-Mountain View (3330 Sandy Plains Road).
That was one of two new locations added by Cobb Elections last week after complaints from voting access advocacy groups.
Check the flyer at the bottom of this post for more early voting places and times.
You can vote at any early voting location in the county, and if you drop off an absentee ballot, you do so at any of the designated drop boxes around the county. The deadline to do that is Jan. 5 at 7 p.m., when the polls close.
Cobb Elections is advising voters that the first day of early voting figures to be the busiest, just as it was during the general election period, so be prepared to wait and follow COVID-related protocols.
Voters must present proper ID, wear masks and line up according to social-distancing measures.
