ALERT TO COBB VOTERS

On November 1, 2024, a Cobb County judge issued an order extending the deadline for certain voters in Cobb County to return their absentee ballots to the Cobb County Elections Office.

Specifically, Cobb County voters that submitted an application for an absentee ballot by October 25 that was accepted, but whose ballot was not mailed by October 30 are deemed to be an "Affected Voter." To determine is you are an Affected Voter, click HERE.

An absentee ballot was mailed via express delivery to all Affected Voters that live in the United States, together with a pre-paid express return envelope. If you are an Affected Voter that lives outside of the United States, a Federal Write in Absentee Ballot (FWAB) was sent to you via email.

If you are an Affected Voter, your ballot MUST be postmarked by 7 PM on November 5 (Election Day) AND received in the Cobb Elections Office by 5 PM on Friday, November 8. When returning your absentee ballot, you are encouraged to physically hand the return envelope with your absentee ballot enclosed to a USPS or UPS worker to ensure it is postmarked.

If you are an Affected Voter and have not received a ballot and have not yet voted, please vote in person at your assigned polling location on November 5.
