FULTON COUNTY, GA -- Fulton County Board of Registration and Elections announced changes to several Polling Places that will be in effect for the General Election on Nov. 3. The county is announcing changes to around 91 of the 255 polling sites that will be open on Election Day. Fulton County is adding polling places to reduce the number of voters assigned per poll and to reduce lines and wait times on Election Day. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the county lost many polling places before the June Primary, which had just 164 locations. These changes will directly affect thousands of voters and because of the large number of location changes, Fulton County will be sending notices to voters by mail to inform them of the changes. "It is clear that the pandemic provided some challenges in June," said Fulton County Elections Director Richard Barron. "Since that time however, we have worked to make sure that our voters and staff are safe. The increase in polling locations for November will ensure a positive voter experience." A complete list of all polling site changes for Nov. 3 can be found here. Voters may also check the Georgia My Voter Page before they go to a polling place on Nov. 3.
