Cobb County Elections workers have been busy sorting new voter precinct cards and have been sending them off in the mail. The 500,000 cards came from the Georgia Secretary of State’s office and represent the newly drawn districts for county and state elected offices.
Because these changes were only made recently, the cards are just now being distributed. If you do not receive a new card before you vote in the primary, you can always log in to your account on the state’s “My Voter” page to get your specific details.
Visit https://mvp.sos.ga.gov/ for that information.
