Hot air during election forces voters to relocate

By
July 21, 2014

Voters in two DeKalb County precincts are being relocated to other locations for Tuesday’s runoff election.

A lack of air conditioning in the Redan-Trotti Library Precinct and the Wesley Chapel Road Library Precinct prompted county election officials to move those polling places to Redan Elementary School and Rainbow Elementary School.

Polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Tuesday, and voters can find information at www.sos.state.ga.us and www.dekalbvotes.com.
