At the direction of the Georgia Secretary of State’s Office, the March 24 Presidential Preference Primary has been rescheduled for May 19, 2020. Voting at all Cobb County advance voting locations is suspended immediately in consideration of the public health emergency posed by the COVID-19 virus. No further in-person voting will take place after March 14. Early in-person voting for the May Primary is scheduled to begin on April 27. Votes already cast during this suspended advance voting period and any Presidential-only absentee ballots mailed back or hand-delivered by May 19, will be counted at the time of the May 19 general primary. Voters are encouraged to submit an absentee ballot application for the May 19 general primary to receive a “combined ballot” by mail, as soon as they become available.  (Revised 3-16-2020)

Voter registration for the Presidential Primary will re-open on Monday, March 23, 2020. The deadline will now coincide with the voter registration deadline for the May 19, 2020 General Primary/Non-Partisan Election. New and changed voter registration applications can be submitted until April 20,  2020 at www.mvp.sos.ga.gov.

Cobb Elections is mailing an absentee ballot application for the May 19, 2020 Primary/Election to every registered voter over 60 years of age. Voters in that vulnerable population will receive a printed application to fill-in, sign and send back to our office. Our vendor expects these applications to be mailed out within the next week or so. Ballots will be ready to mail by April 4 for those who have returned an application.

Younger voters who want to vote-by-mail are welcome to click here to download and print their absentee ballot application. The voted ballot must be returned to the Elections Office by May 19 to be counted.
