Roswell residents can cast ballots at two local libraries starting Tuesday, Oct. 13, as Fulton County opens early voting for the Nov. 3 general election.

The East Roswell Library at 2301 Holcomb Bridge Road and the Roswell Library at 115 Norcross Street are among 32 countywide early voting locations, Fulton County announced. Early voting runs through Friday, Oct. 30.

The East Roswell Library is also one of seven countywide sites with an on-site drop box for absentee-by-mail ballots. The deadline to request an absentee ballot is Friday, Oct. 23, according to county election documents.

Hours at all locations are 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and noon to 5 p.m. Sunday.

Two tax referendums on the ballot

Roswell voters also face two sales tax referendums.

The first is a renewal of the Transportation Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (TSPLOST), a 0.75% levy that would run from April 1, 2027, through March 31, 2032. Fulton County Commissioners voted unanimously on Aug. 3 to place the measure on the ballot after signing an intergovernmental agreement with 14 cities, including Roswell.

Under that agreement, Roswell's share would be about $98.2 million, as the Fulton Neighbor reported. The countywide total is projected at more than $650 million over five years.

Roswell's Mayor and City Council approved a list of 18 proposed TSPLOST projects on May 26 after a public survey that drew about 1,200 responses and two public meetings, according to Roswell Connections. Priority projects include the East Roswell Loop Multi-Use Trail, citywide resurfacing, corridor improvements on Nesbit Ferry Road and Hembree Road, and rehabilitation of the Vickery Creek Trail.

"Roswell voters will have the opportunity to decide in November whether to continue the transportation improvements that TSPLOST has made possible in our community," Mayor Mary Robichaux said in August, when Fulton County Commissioners placed the measure on the ballot.

The TSPLOST covers Fulton County outside the City of Atlanta. If a countywide majority approves it, the tax takes effect even if Roswell voters reject it. If voters turn it down, the current program expires in March 2027 and Roswell's 18 projects lose their TSPLOST funding.

The second referendum asks voters to reimpose a 1% education sales tax, known as ESPLOST, starting July 1, 2027, for up to five years. The tax could raise up to about $2.1 billion countywide for school facilities, according to the county's call for election. Roswell High School is among the Fulton County School District facilities listed as eligible for capital improvements.
