• Mount Paran Church of God: 1700 Allgood Road NE, Marietta, GA 30062
• Kell High School: 4770 Lee Waters Road, Marietta, GA 30066

Election officials said the Fulton County Superior Court issued a ruling this afternoon allowing voting hours to be extended at five polling locations due to threats made today that required a brief evacuation of five different polling locations.
