Time is running out for voters ahead of the November election.

That deadline applies statewide — including here in Polk County.
Georgians can register online at the My Voter Page — that’s mvp.sos.ga.gov — or in person at the Polk County Board of Elections office in Cedartown at 144 West Avenue.
The general election will be held on November 4th 2025 from 7:00 AM till 7:00 PM at all 7 Polk County election day polling locations.

Early voting will be held at both the Cedartown location at The Goodyear Civic Center: 108 Prior Street and in Rockmart at The Rockmart Community Center: 604 Goodyear Avenue.
Saturday October 18th and October 25th will have early voting from 9:00 AM till 5:00 PM at the Cedartown and Rockmart locations.
Two local special elections will be on the November ballot, including a redevelopment powers referendum by the City of Cedartown and a Homestead Exemption from Polk School District ad valorem taxes for seniors over the age of 65.
