ATLANTA — The early vote count in Georgia is in: more than 2.5 million ballots cast through Friday, a record high for a midterm election.
Many Georgians turned out on the last day of early voting, with over 231,000 in-person voters Friday, according to state election data. That’s the third-busiest day of early voting in Georgia history, trailing only the last day of early voting in the 2016 and 2018 elections.
With a strong showing on Election Day Tuesday, total turnout in Georgia could exceed the nearly 4 million voters who cast ballots in the last midterm four years ago. About 1.8 million people voted on Election Day in 2018.
