The Newton County Board of Elections and Registration has found a new home within the walls of the historic Cousins School. This relocation, now firmly established at 8134 Geiger Street NW, Covington, offers a fresh setting for a myriad of electoral services available to local residents.
Open from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, the office's doors are open for those needing to register to vote, check their voter status, and get their hands on candidate information. The venue also hosts Board of Elections meetings, serving as a nexus for both voters and candidates alike. Further details can be gleaned from the official announcement.
The move demonstrates Newton County's commitment to modernizing its electoral process. Ensconced within the rejuvenated Cousins School site, the Board's new office stands as a tangible product of the 2023 Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax, demonstrating how local funds are channeled back into community facilities such as this and the Newton County Administration Building's own refurbishment, as detailed by the County's website.
