(Forsyth County, GA) The usual City of Cumming voting locations will be experiencing some changes for the upcoming 2023 and 2024 election seasons.
During a Cumming City Council meeting on Tuesday, July 18, the Cumming City Council made two changes to the voting locations in the city.
The first change affects early voting for the 2023 Municipal General Election on November 7. Early voting for this election will be held at the Forsyth County Office of Voter Registrations & Elections at 1202 Sawnee Drive instead of at the Cumming City Hall.
Election day voting for the 2023 Municipal General Election will still be held at the Cumming City Hall.
For the 2024 election year, the Cumming precinct voting location will be changed from the Cumming City Hall to the Cumming Recreation and Parks Department building on 437 Pilgrim Mill Road.
Reasons for these changes include having more space for higher voter turnout, more parking, and voters not having to use stairs or elevators.
Holding early voting for the 2023 Municipal General Election at the Forsyth County Office of Voter Registrations & Elections is more convenient staffing-wise, and the Cumming Recreation and Parks Department building has been used as a voting location in the past.
“We used the Recreation and Parks facility back in 2020 for advanced voting only with Covid and we opened additional advance voting locations for countywide elections so we’re familiar with the setup over there,” said Forsyth County Elections Director Mandi Smith.
