Social media can be a great tool to connect during COVID-19, but it can also be the source of bad information. There have been posts that Cobb County will not allow absentee balloting for the November general election. Nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, we are making the absentee ballot process more efficient for the coming election.

  • Our Information Services Department has generated a custom application form that will save elections workers thousands of hours of processing time and allow for faster turnaround of ballots.
  • More absentee ballot drop off locations will be available and will give voters more secure and convenient choices for dropping off their completed ballots rather than using the mail.

You can apply for an absentee ballot at any time by visiting cobbcounty.org/elections/voting/absentee-voting. Staff will begin the mailing process for the November election on Sept. 15.
