Muscogee County (GA) adds five early voting locations
COLUMBUS, Ga. (WTVM) - Early voting in Georgia starts October 12 and for the first time, Muscogee County is adding five advanced voting sites in the Columbus area.
At one point, Columbus' Citizen Service Center was the only place people could early go for voting. Now Muscogee County has four additional advanced voting locations, in response to coronavirus concerns.
“We’re trying to make sure that everybody is as safe as they can be and they can be secure in placing their vote,” said Jeanette James, Muscogee County Election Specialist.
Early voting sites are set up at the Citizen Services Center, Columbus Health Department, Columbus Civic Center ice rink, Columbus Convention and Trade Center and the newest location is at the Shirley B. Winston Recreation Center. One Columbus man who lives by the recreation center said he’s happy there is an advanced voting location near him.
“I live in this area and this one of the place I come to exercise and this is our recreational center and this would be a great place for us to come and vote," said Kenneth Jones, Muscogee County voter.
Although there are five different early voting locations, some of them open up at different dates and times.
