A total of 27 election day voting precincts have now been relocated by DeKalb County.

The precincts are being relocated due to the coronavirus pandemic and related concerns.

“Some of the locations, such as churches, have not reopened due to the pandemic,” county spokesman Andrew Cauthen said last week. “Other locations, such as senior living facilities, are not available due to COVID-19 related concerns.”

The latest tally of relocated precincts, which was released late Friday, includes three new changes. Most of the affected precincts are in northern DeKalb or the Decatur area.

Officials have previously said that affected voters would be notified by mail, and that signs would be posted at relocated voting locations.

See a full list below.

Those who have already completed absentee ballots can still drop them off at several locations throughout DeKalb County.

A list of those locations can be found here.
