The Board of Elections has performed an Emergency Precinct Move from Aragon United Methodist Church to Aragon City Hall. The new Aragon Precinct will now be located at 2814 GA-101, Aragon, GA 30104. The reason for the move was due to renovations of the former precinct.

When casting your vote before Election Day, it is considered Absentee Voting. There are two ways you can vote early:
In-Person Absentee Voting (or Advance Voting):
Voters may cast their ballot in person on a voting machine at a designated Polling Site prior to Election Day.
Absentee by Mail:
Voters can choose to have a paper ballot mailed to them, and return the voted ballot to the Elections Office.
Polk County currently has two Early Voting Locations. All registered Polk County Voters
may visit one of the following to cast their vote in person before Election Day:
Goodyear Civic Center
108 Prior St
Cedartown, GA 30125
Rockmart Community Center
604 Goodyear Avenue
Rockmart, GA 30153
Voters can choose to have a paper ballot mailed to them, and return the voted ballot to the Elections Office.
In order to vote by mail, you must request an Absentee Ballot by submitting an application to our office.

**Special Circumstances**
If you are a voter who is over 65, physically disabled, temporarily overseas or in the military, please designate on your application. Doing so will eliminate the need for multiple applications during an election cycle.
Election Day Poll Workers are the most important part of any Election Day! They ensure your voting experience is an excellent one, they are responsible for running all Election Day operations at their assigned location, and deliver Election Results to the office on Election Night.
Polk County also encourages it's voters to sign up for a [volunteer shift] at one of our seven polling locations. These are generally 4-6 hours in length, but vary between Elections.
[Roles and Responsibilities for Poll Workers]
*If you are an Organization who is wishing to sponsor a Polling Location,
please contact our office at swalker@polkga.org
Polk County Residents who are interested in running for office must first Qualify in order to be placed on the ballot. Information on the qualifying process can be found here:
