Georgia Sees Record Early Voting Turnout

Libertarian Presidential Candidate Chase Oliver stands in line to vote at the Tucker-Reid H. Cofer branch of the Dekalb County Public Library on the first day of early voting, Tuesday, Oct. 15, 2024 i

Georgians are showing strong enthusiasm for the upcoming election, with over 600,000 votes already cast through a combination of early in-person voting and mail-in ballots. This significant turnout, representing more than 10% of expected total votes, indicates a high level of engagement among voters in the southern battleground state.

On the first day of early in-person voting, more than 310,000 individuals went to the polls, followed by an additional 260,000 voters casting their ballots by Wednesday evening. In addition, 33,000 mail-in ballots have been accepted so far. These numbers are a stark contrast to the record-breaking 5 million votes cast in the 2020 presidential election in Georgia.
