GWINNETT COUNTY, GA — Gwinnett County voters heading to the polls Tuesday will decide several local races and a special election question as officials prepare to handle potential Election Day issues.
Among the local races on the ballot are Gwinnett County Commission seats in Districts 2 and 4, along with the solicitor general’s office.
Voters will also decide whether to expand a homestead exemption to disabled veterans and Gwinnett County Public Schools employees.
Gwinnett County Acting Elections Supervisor Kelvin Williams says voters should review a sample ballot before arriving at their polling locations to help reduce wait times.
Election officials are also reminding residents to verify their assigned polling places after eight locations changed across the county.
Seven polling locations moved earlier this year, while another was changed more recently.
Voters who previously cast their ballots at Landmark Church on Holcomb Bridge Road in Norcross will now vote at Unity Atlanta Church in Peachtree Corners.
Meanwhile, Gwinnett County election officials say they are prepared to address problems that may arise throughout the day.
Williams says 125 employees will staff a call center at the county’s elections office to assist voters and polling locations with technical issues and other concerns.
“We serve approximately 612,000 active voters across 156 precincts, and so ensuring that we have staff that are able to support those individuals that are in the field is very important to us here in Gwinnett,” Williams said.
The call center will help troubleshoot voting equipment problems, provide voter information and assist with absentee ballot cancellations for residents who want to vote in person.
Williams also reminded voters about restrictions on political campaigning near polling locations.
“Campaigning is not allowed at polling locations or within 150 feet of the building,” Williams said.
Federal election monitors may also be present at some polling locations, but Williams says they will not interfere with the voting process.
