Some Cobb County precincts to stay open late due to technical issues
COBB COUNTY, Ga. - About eight Cobb County precincts will remain open past their scheduled 7 p.m. closing time.
A Cobb County Superior Court Judge issued after various issues forced the voting locations to open late for the municipal and ESPLOST election.
All but one of the locations had minor technical issues that caused voting to begin late. The McEachern 01 precinct was briefly evacuated due to a fire alarm in the building, causing the judge to keep it open past its normal time.

- Bryant 02 Riverside Epicenter, 135 Riverside Parkway, Austell, GA 30168, open until 7:30 pm
