8 Cobb Polling Places To Stay Open Late On Election Day

COBB COUNTY, GA — A Cobb County Superior Court judge ordered eight Cobb County election precincts to remain open past the scheduled 7 p.m. closing time on Election Day, county officials said Tuesday afternoon.

The order comes after various issues caused the precincts to open late Tuesday morning for the municipal and Education Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax elections, when the locations were supposed to open at 7 a.m.

"Elections officials say most of the delays were caused by minor technical issues that were quickly corrected," a county news release said. "The exception was the McEachern 01 precinct that was briefly evacuated due to a fire alarm in the building."

The order affects the following precincts:

• Bryant 02, Riverside Epicenter, 135 Riverside Parkway, Austell
  • Open until 7:30 p.m.
• Dowell 01, Dowell Elementary School, 2121 West Sandtown Road, Marietta
