The absentee ballot application period has already opened in Georgia, beginning August 22. Non-military, non-overseas voters can begin mailing in their ballots starting Oct. 10. The voter registration deadline for the November general election is the following day, Oct. 11.

Early voting will begin a week later on Oct. 17.

Among the elections in Cobb, control of the county school board is at stake in the Post 4 contest between incumbent Republican David Chastain and Democrat Catherine Pozniak.

In Board of Commissioners District 1, Commissioner Keli Gambrill is running for reelection unopposed. In District 3, three-term incumbent Republican JoAnn Birrell faces Democrat Christine Triebsch.
