Just Where Am I Supposed to Vote on Tuesday?

Polls in Forsyth County will be open from 7 a.m. until 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 8 for the special election on SPLOST VII, but several voting locations have changed. The list below will point you in the right direction.

 

On Tuesday, Nov. 8 many Forsyth County residents will head to the polls to cast their vote in favor for or against SPLOST VII, the $200 million special purpose local option sales tax referendum, that will be on the ballot in the county's special election.

Some of the items the proceeds of SPLOST VII would fund include, a new jail, courthouse expansion, transportation projects, scheduled replacement of fire engines, animal shelter, expansion and renovation of the Sharon Forks Library, and emergency raw water generator.

A recent town hall meeting/debate was held at the Forsyth County Senior Services Center as pro- and anti-sales tax forces squared off to debate the merits of SPLOST VII.

Polls in Forsyth County will be open from 7 a.m. until 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 8, but several voting locations have changed.

"We have been getting some calls regarding the changes of the polling locations when they started to get their precinct cards," said Barbara Luth, supervisor of Voter Registrations and Elections. "Because we sent precinct cards to everybody that had it changed."
