The Cobb voter registration deadline for most of this year’s local, state and federal elections is fast approaching.
The deadline to register to vote in most of those elections is April 24. Those elections include the May 22 primaries and any runoffs that will be held on July 24.
This is going to be a busy election season for East Cobb voters, with contested races for District 3 on the Cobb Board of Commissioners, Post 6 on the Cobb Board of Education, several legislative seats and the 6th District Congressional seat.
In addition, statewide offices, including governor, as will as state and local judicial posts, will be on 2018 ballots.

You can register to vote, or check your registration status and precinct information, by visiting the Georgia Secretary of State’s website.
The Cobb Board of Elections and Registration is also mailing out absentee ballots for those who’d rather vote that way. Voters don’t have to give a reason when applying for an absentee ballot, but they should consider applying early to allow for mailing time.
Absentee ballots must be received at the Cobb elections office by 7 p.m. on May 22.
To request a ballot, visit the Cobb Elections website and get more information by calling 770-528-2581.
In addition to absentee ballots, advance voting will once again take place. That period will run from April 30-May 18, and will include a full week of advance voting May 14-18 at the East Cobb Government Service Center (4400 Lower Roswell Road).
