2 Fayette County polling places have moved: Check yours

Voters in two Fayette County precincts will not vote where they did in 2024. After two long-time host churches closed, the county moved Morning Creek Precinct 8 and Oak Ridge Precinct 28 into shared buildings with neighboring precincts — a quiet shuffle that matters most to the people who have cast ballots in the same rooms for years.

The changes ahead of the November 3, 2026 general election are co-locations, not redrawn precinct lines. No one's precinct boundary moved; instead, two precincts now share one roof.

Why the changes happened

Fayette Friendship Community Church was reported closed in October 2025, and New Hope Baptist Church closed in early 2026. That left Morning Creek Precinct 8 and Oak Ridge Precinct 28 without the buildings that had hosted their voters. The Fayette County Board of Elections & Registration approved the final relocations in March 2026, following initial proposals by the Elections Director in January..

What changed from the 2024 election

This comparison is against the November 5, 2024 general election, the most recent election for which Fayette County polling-place locations are on record. Measured against that baseline, two precincts moved:

• Morning Creek Precinct 8 voted at New Hope Baptist Church, 551 New Hope Road, in 2024. For November 3, 2026, it is now co-located with Blackrock Precinct 1 at Fayetteville Christian Church, 114 Hickory Road, Fayetteville.
• Oak Ridge Precinct 28 voted at Fayette Friendship Community Church, 847 New Hope Road, in 2024. It is now co-located with Kenwood Precinct 23 at True Light Baptist Church, 409 Kenwood Road, Fayetteville.
• Flint Precinct 6 did not change. The board initially approved moving Flint to co-locate at Berachah Bible Church in January 2026, then reversed that decision on February 24, 2026, after McDonough Road Baptist Church agreed to keep hosting the precinct. Flint remains at McDonough Road Baptist Church, 352 McDonough Road, Fayetteville.

How to confirm your polling place

The surest way is to look yourself up: Georgia's My Voter Page, operated by the Georgia Secretary of State, shows your registered voting precinct and assigned polling place. Voters can also call the Fayette County Elections Office at 770-305-5408 or visit 175 Johnson Avenue, Fayetteville.

The rules differ by stage of voting:

• Early voting runs October 13–30. Hours are 9 a.m.–7 p.m. on scheduled weekdays and Saturdays, with Sunday voting October 25 from noon–4 p.m. Voters may use any of four countywide sites regardless of precinct.
• Those sites are the Fayette County Elections Office (175 Johnson Avenue), Fayette County Library (1821 Heritage Parkway), M.T. Allen Memorial Library (201 Willowbend Road, Peachtree City), and the Tyrone Community Room in the Museum Building (881 Senoia Road).
• One early-voting site changed its name but not its address: M.T. Allen Memorial Library is the renamed Peachtree City Library.
• On Election Day, November 3, you must cast your ballot at the polling place assigned to your own residential precinct — unlike early voting, where any county site works.

What if you show up at the wrong door

Poll workers can direct you to the correct location. But a provisional ballot cast out-of-precinct before 5 p.m. generally will not count; one cast after 5 p.m. may count only if you complete an affidavit stating you could not reach your assigned precinct before polls closed.

Polls are open 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Election Day. For neighbors who have driven to the same room for years, the takeaway is simple: two precincts — Morning Creek and Oak Ridge — now vote under different roofs because their old host churches closed, while Flint stayed put. Before you head out on November 3, spend a minute on My Voter Page — and show up at the right door.
