Early voting is underway in Cobb and Georgia for the next three weeks, and some long lines have already been reported at some of the polling stations in the county.
One of them is at the East Cobb Government Service Center (4400 Lower Roswell Road), which in recent election cycles has been one of the most-visited sites for early voting.
It’s one of 12 early voting precincts that will be used between now and Nov. 1. Another is the Tim D. Lee Senior Center (3332 Sandy Plains Road). Voters can go to any of these 12 regardless of where they live in the county.
Since the 2020 elections, the Cobb GIS office, in conjunction with Cobb Elections is providing a wait-time map in real time (link here).
The map is updated throughout the day by the site managers and is only an estimate.
As we noted earlier, here is the early voting schedule:
- Oct. 15-18, Monday-Friday, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
- Oct. 19, Saturday, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
- Oct. 20, Sunday, 12-5 p.m. (East Cobb Govt. Center)
- Oct. 21-25, Monday-Friday, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
- Oct. 26, Saturday, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
- Oct. 27, Sunday, 12-5 p.m. (East Cobb Govt. Center)
- Oct. 28-Nov. 1, Monday-Friday, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
The East Cobb Government Center also is the site of an absentee ballot drop box that is open during early voting hours.
