Different Ways to Vote

  • Registered voters in Georgia can vote in person before Election Day at ANY location in Cobb County. Early voting will be open every day from April 29 - May 17. polls will be open Monday - Friday from 7 am - 7 pm, Saturday from 8 am - 5 pm, and Sunday 12 pm - 5 pm. Please note that Sunday voting will have less polling locations available than any other day. For more details on early voting, please visit the Cobb County website linked here.

    If you’re voting in person early or on Election Day, you will need a valid photo ID such as a driver's license, passport, or voter identification card.

    Be sure to verify available dates and polling hours with your early voting precinct. Exact hours may vary.

    The closest location in House District 42 is:

    Smyrna Community Center*
    1250 Powder Springs St SE
    Smyrna, GA 30080

    *Smyrna Community Center is NOT open for Sunday voting. If you’d like to vote on Sunday, you can go to the South Cobb Community Center in Mableton or the Cobb County Elections and Registration Main Office in Marietta. More details are linked here.

  • In Georgia, any registered voter may apply for an absentee ballot. After the Elections Office has verified your application, an absentee ballot will be mailed to your address. Submit the filled-out ballot by mail, drop it off at early voting locations that have dropboxes (this includes the Smyrna Community Center) or hand deliver it to the Cobb County Board of Elections and Registration Office. Absentee ballots must be received by 7 p.m. on Election Day.

    If you’d like to apply for an absentee ballot online, you can apply at the link here. You must have a valid Georgia Driver’s License to apply online.

    If you have requested an absentee ballot but decide to vote in person, you must cancel your Absentee ballot by submitting an affidavit available online.

  • You can vote in person on Election Day from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. at your assigned polling place. To find your Election Day polling place, please go to the Georgia My Voter Page and sign in. If you are in line by 7 p.m., you will still be allowed to vote.

    If you’re voting in person early or on Election Day, you will need a valid photo ID such as a driver's license, passport, or voter identification card.

    The polls offer audio ballots for voters who have visual impairments and booths for voters who use wheelchairs. If you need help with your ballot, ask a family member or friend to accompany you to the polls.

    If you believe you’re properly registered to vote in Cobb County but are told that your voting eligibility cannot be verified when you arrive to vote in person, ask for a provisional ballot. If you submit a provisional ballot, you must return to the Cobb County Elections office to verify your eligibility within the next 3 days after Election Day.

    Please note that if you go to the wrong precinct on Election Day and cast a provisional ballot before 5 PM, your vote will NOT count, due to new election laws passed in Georgia. If it is before 5 PM and you are being told you are not on the voter list, please confirm you are at the right precinct by going to the Georgia My Voter Page. If you are in your correct precinct, you should be able to vote or cast a provisional ballot.
