“Registered voters need to remember that their voting precinct and poll might have changed based on the new redistricting map,” states Richard Barron, Director of Fulton county Registration and Elections. “They should check their cards to make sure they know where to vote on May 20. We want everyone to show up at the right location.”

Mary Norwood nominated to Fulton Elections Board

Submitted by Atlanta Busines... on Friday, January 18th, 11:18 am

ATLANTA -- The Fulton County Republican Party nominated former Atlanta mayoral candidate and Atlanta City Council member Mary Norwood to the Fulton County Elections Board.

She would replace William F. Riley, who resigned.

"With the resignation of our County Party stalwart and former judge, William Riley, from the Board of Elections and the ongoing investigation by the Secretary of State's office, we had to act quickly to find someone with the high caliber of intellect and ability to effect change," Fulton County Republican Party Chairman Roger Bonds said in a statement.

"Mary Norwood is just that kind of person," Bonds added. "Her background as a small business owner, community activist and former elected official gives her the political savvy and professionalism that makes her the ideal person to continue the clean-up work Riley started."

The vote on Norwood's nomination is Jan. 23.

Thousands of Fulton residents vote early

ATLANTA -- More than 100,000 Fulton County residents have already cast their votes for the Nov. 6 election.

As of 11 a.m. Thursday, 117,130 people have voted early at the county's six advance voting locations, according to unofficial data from the county's Department of Registration & Elections.

So far, the South Fulton Annex in College Park has received the most early voters, with 27,182 people queuing up to make their voices heard. That location also recorded the longest wait times in the county, with some people standing in line for up to two hours to vote.

The Fulton County Government Center on Peachtree Street in downtown Atlanta has both the shortest wait time -- at 11 a.m., voters could walk right up to the polls -- and the fewest total number of voters, at 13,073.
