Republican voters turned out in strong numbers during the first week of early voting in the 2022 primary elections and cityhood referendums in Cobb County last week.
After the first six days, including last Saturday, Cobb Elections reported that 7,350 voters cast ballots in the GOP primary, and 4,646 in the Democratic primary.
A total of 176 voters chose the non-partisan ballot, which is limited to judicial candidates.
During the primaries voters must choose one of the three ballots.
Here are the sample ballots for each:

Voters who live in the proposed City of East Cobb will get the referendum on their ballot regardless of which one they choose.
Cobb Elections said that 1,845 Republican ballots were cast at the East Cobb Government Service Center (4400 Lower Roswell Road), while there were 877 Democratic ballots and 58 non-partisan.
At the Tim D. Lee Senior Center (3332 Sandy Plains Road), there were 1,024 Republican ballots during the first week, along with 378 Democratic ballots and 9 non-partisan.
Early voting continues this week at those locations and several others around the county from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday-Friday and 9-5 Saturday.
The last week of early voting is May 16-20 from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
The Cobb Elections office is estimating wait times at each early voting station with an interactive map that can be found here.
When you click the information icon in the upper-right corner you’ll find a color-coded legend explaining the wait times and other information.
The wait-time interactive map is periodically updated each day by the poll manager at each location.
If you wish to vote via absentee ballot, you have through Friday to request one, and you can do that by clicking here.
If you wish to drop off your ballot in person, there are drop boxes at the East Cobb Government Service Center and the Tim D. Lee Center that will be available during early voting hours only.
