ATLANTA — In-person turnout was so high in the first week of early voting in Georgia that some days were busier than the 2020 presidential election.
Through the first seven days of early voting, nearly 838,000 people had already cast their ballots, most of them at in-person voting locations. Absentee ballots accounted for less than one-tenth of votes so far, though the numbers will increase as the 248,000 voters who requested absentees return them.
By the time polls close on elections night, state officials have said total turnout could approach the 5 million voters in the 2020 presidential election.
