You can avoid the Cobb County election day parking lot bumper car rigmarole by voting early.

There are five locations throughout the county where you can do so.

The advance voting begins April 30 and ends May 18, according to the supervisor of election's website.

Election Day for the general primary is May 22 across Georgia, and the polls in Cobb will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
