County approves polling location changes By SARAH COYNE sarah@appenmedia.com FULTON COUNTY, Ga. — The Fulton County Board of Registration and Elections met to discuss polling place changes at their monthly board meeting April 10 at the Elections Hub and Operations Center. Polling place changes will take
place at around 68 locations across Fulton County in 11 cities across the county, including Alpharetta, Atlanta, Chattahoochee Hills, College Park, East Point, Johns Creek, Milton, Roswell, Sandy Springs, South Fulton and Union City. Traditionally, polling places are modified if the site is no longer willing to host election operations, is
undergoing renovations, boundary line changes or due to voter complaints about parking or other issues. “There were several that are undergoing renovations, especially in Fulton County Schools for the summer months they either have a conflict or they have renovations happening,” Director of Registration and Elections Nadine Williams said.
In addition, the Board approved the minutes from the February 13 regular meeting, during which advance polling locations were approved, some of which also include modifications. Fulton County will provide the cities with a certain number of advance voting sites for the election.
