While Democratic voters will have several hopefuls to choose from, the Republican ballot will have only one name—incumbent President Donald Trump.

In Cobb County, some polling precinct locations have changed, including several in East Cobb, as noted last month. The Cobb Board of Elections formally approved those changes last week.

Advance voting in the presidential primary starts March 2; full schedule here.

The deadline to register for the May 19 general primary—which includes Congressional, state and local offices—is April 20. 

Last week, Cobb Elections formally adopted filing fees for candidates running for local office. Qualifying for various judgeships, county commission, county school board, court clerks, sheriff and tax commissioner is March 2-6.

This year, Georgia is rolling out new voting machines that includes a paper balloting system, and they will be used initially for the presidential primary.
