Cherokee County Election: Polling Hours Extended For Two Sites

CHEROKEE COUNTY, GA — Due to some delays incurred at two Cherokee County elections precincts, Cherokee County Chief Superior Court Judge Ellen McElyea has signed a requested order to extend voting hours at two locations.

The two locations extending time are located at:

• Allen Temple AME, 232 Arnold Mill Road, Woodstock: until 7:12 p.m.
• Canton City Hall, 110 Academy St: until 7:15 p.m.

Other voting locations around the state have also extended voting hours.

Cobb County Superior Court Judge Robert Leonard signed an order Tuesday afternoon to keep the Sope Creek 02 precinct, at the Sope Creek Elementary School, 3320 Paper Mill Road, Marietta, opened an additional 20 minutes tonight. The precinct opened 20 minutes late due to a late-arriving poll manager.

DeKalb Superior Court Judge Courtney L. Johnson signed an order Tuesday afternoon approving a petition by the Board of Registration and Elections to extend voting for two DeKalb County polling places that opened late this morning.

• The Valley Brook precinct, located at Valley Brook Baptist Church, 1198 N. Valley BrookRoad, Decatur, 30033, will stay open until 7:40 p.m.
• The Gresham Road precinct, located at Obama Elementary School, 3132 CliftonChurch Road SE, Atlanta, 30316, will remain open until 7:45 p.m.

This extension was requested, in an abundance of caution, to ensure that all electors at the locations have the required full 12 hours of voting.
