Election Day is Tuesday for Kennesaw voters in the General Election and Special Election. Advance voting ended October 30, so anyone who has not voted must go to an assigned polling place on Tuesday, November 3. Polls are open 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., according to Cobb County Elections and Registration.

Unlike early voting, Election Day voting is not open at any site in the county. Look up your assigned location, registration status and personalized sample ballot on Georgia's My Voter Page, and bring acceptable photo identification.

Absentee ballots must be received by 7 p.m. on Election Day, and Cobb's drop boxes closed October 30. Voters whose ballot has not arrived can vote in person; election workers can help cancel the absentee ballot, and ballots that arrive afterward should not be returned. For questions, contact Cobb Elections at 770-528-2581, open weekdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., or visit the county's elections page.

Kennesaw State University is part of SoyWatch, a $660,000 National Science Foundation research collaboration aimed at improving how soybean crops are monitored and bred. The university announced the project on October 27 and said its share is $131,863, according to its news release.

Jian Zhang, an associate professor of information technology in the College of Computing and Software Engineering, leads Kennesaw State's contribution: a battery-free wireless link that could carry readings from several soil sensors over longer distances. Partners include the University of Missouri, the University of Memphis and institutions in India.

The team plans to pair sensor data with artificial intelligence to flag problems such as nutrient deficiencies or disease and support breeding decisions. Those are goals; the university has announced no finished product, timeline or field results.

For Kennesaw readers, the grant gives a local university a specific technical role in an international agriculture project.

CobbLinc Go microtransit has expanded into parts of Kennesaw and Acworth after an October 29 ribbon-cutting. The shared, on-demand service gives residents another local travel option without requiring them to follow a fixed bus route. It operates Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Rides cost $2.50 each. Riders can pay by credit or debit card in the app, or with exact cash aboard the vehicle; Breeze cards are not accepted. The app shows a pickup point and estimated arrival. A trip may involve a short walk to that point.

Residents can download the CobbLinc Go app or call CobbLinc to book without a smartphone. Wheelchair-accessible vehicles are available when requested, and the operator says riders can arrange door-to-door service for mobility needs.

Before making plans, enter your exact pickup and destination to confirm they fall within the active zone. Check vehicle availability, especially when timing matters.
