Cobb County Early Voting Starts, Runs Through Dec. 31

COBB COUNTY, GA — Early in-person voting in Cobb County for the Jan. 5 runoff elections will be available at only five locations starting Monday. Two more locations will open for the final week of voting.

Cobb County residents can vote at any of these locations during early voting, regardless of what your assigned precinct would be on Jan. 5. You must already be registered to vote.

Eleven advance-voting sites had been open in Georgia's third most populous county for the Nov. 3 general election, but the number initially was cut back to five for the runoffs because of staffing issues. After backlash from voting-rights groups and Democrats, Cobb County Voting Director Janine Eveler added two more.

The first five advance voting locations will be open 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday, and on Saturday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.

• Cobb County elections main office, 736 Whitlock Ave. NW, Marietta
• East Cobb Government Center, 4400 Lower Roswell Road, Marietta
• North Cobb Regional Library, 3535 Old 41 Highway NW, Kennesaw
• Riverside EpiCenter, 135 Riverside Parkway, Austell
• Ron Anderson Recreation Center, 3820 Macedonia Road, Powder Springs

Two more locations will open on Dec. 28 and be available Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Thursday, New Year's Eve, from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m.

• The Arts Place Mountain View, 3330 Sandy Plains Road, Marietta
