COBB COUNTY, Ga. — The Cobb County Board of Commissioners is warning some of its residents that human error may have caused them to get misdirected precinct cards.
Some people in nine of the county’s 148 precincts have gotten voter precinct cards addressed to voters who do not live at that address, Cobb County says.

The county blamed the misdirected cards on a clerical error during the transfer of address data.
The Elections and Registration Office is required to let voters know if their polling places are changing ahead of the remaining 2025 elections.
The misdirected precinct cards were sent to people in the following precincts:
- Bells Ferry 02
- Clarkdale 01
- Clarkdale 02
- Eastside 02
- Kemp 02
- Kennesaw 4A
- North Cobb 01
- Shallowford Falls 01
- Willeo 01
“Our office is working with our vendor to send corrected cards to affected households,” said Elections Director Tate Fall.
The Elections and Registration Office said that just because a person’s name is listed at the address on the precinct card doesn’t mean that the voter is registered at the address where the card was received.
Officials also reminded people that precinct change cards are sent out for informational use only, not as valid voting identification.

The county also encourages voters to check their polling location at the Georgia My Voter page.
