Three Early Voting Locations Set for May Election in Columbus

With the Georgia primaries and local elections just two weeks away on May 19, election officials in Columbus have secured three early voting locations to serve voters: the Northside Recreation Center, the City Services Center, and the Shirley Winston Recreation Center on the southside. Securing suitable early voting sites has proved challenging, but Director of Elections and Registrations Nancy Boren says the board is ready to test all 450 voting machines ahead of election day.

WHY IT MATTERS
Early voting access is a key issue in elections, and the selection of these three locations aims to provide convenient options for voters across different neighborhoods in Columbus ahead of the pivotal May primaries for state and local offices.

THE DETAILS
After considering a north Columbus shopping area that ultimately fell through, the elections board settled on the Northside Recreation Center, the City Services Center, and the Shirley Winston Recreation Center as the three early voting sites for the upcoming May 19 election. Voters will use the same ballot marking devices and tabulators as on election day, with the board testing all 450 machines to ensure an 'errorless count'.

- The May 19 election is just two weeks away.
- Early voting will take place in the lead-up to the May 19 election.
