Cobb Elections and Registration has received more than 200 donated masks so far. Director Janine Eveler wants to personally thank all who have donated and encourage more donations to help protect elections staff and volunteers working diligently on our upcoming election.

We need a total of 1,400 masks. The elections office, located at 736 Whitlock Ave., Marietta, has a donation bin at its entrance from noon to 1 p.m., Monday-Friday. Please put the donated masks in a plastic bag and place them in the bin.
