COBB COUNTY, Ga. — Polls in Cobb County are fully operational again after voters reported issues at a few precincts with Election Day voting underway in the Georgia primary election.
A total of 11 locations will stay open for a period of time after 7 p.m., after a petition order was granted by a superior court judge.
Several voters have called or emailed the Channel 2 Action News newsroom about issues they have come across.
We reached out to Cobb County Elections & Registration, which confirmed its system was having technical issues.
The issue was the poll pads used by workers to verify voter information were temporarily down.
The department says backup procedures were put into place and voting continued. Normal operations have since resumed.
“Voters are encouraged to remain patient as election staff work to address the issue and assist voters as quickly as possible. No polling locations have stopped voting operations, and all eligible voters in line by 7:00 p.m. will be allowed to cast their ballot,” Cobb election officials said.
We’ll have the latest from the polls across metro Atlanta, for Channel 2 Action News starting at 5:00 p.m.
