From the Cleveland Daily Banner: The Bradley County Election Commission has set the locations of early voting for the March 5th Primary. 

 

Early voting will not return to Bradley Square Mall this cycle. 

 

Disturbances from the voting public were cited by mall management as something that could lead the mall to suspend its contract with the election commission during early voting.

 

By agreeing to use the mall, the election commission had to give the mall the authority to end early voting within 24 hours of an incident.

 

Kezmond Pugh, an election commissioner, weighed in, saying, “I think right now, what the mall is asking for is too risky for us to even keep considering it. We just need to find an alternate location.”

 

As of late last week, the election commission shared on social media that it had finalized the early voting locations. 

 

Early voting locations are:

  • OCI “The Ramp,” at 410 Urbane Rd NE 
  • Election Commission Office, at 155 Broad St. NW
  • Northeast Recreation Center, at 264 Berry St. NE
  • And the Bradley County Fire-Rescue Training Center, at 3715 Dalton Pike SE

 

Early voting will take place from Feb. 14-27 on Monday through Friday from 9 to 6 p.m., and on Saturday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Early voting locations will be closed on Feb. 19th in observance of President’s Day.

 

The last day to register to vote to participate in the March 5th primary is Feb. 5th.
