Georgia Candidates Make Final Push as Record Early Voting Raises Stakes

More than 2.8 million Georgians have already voted early, making Election Day turnout the decisive factor in several razor‑thin statewide contests.

Overview

  • Campaigns across Georgia fanned out Monday for last‑minute door‑to‑door outreach and events as candidates urged supporters to vote and make a plan to reach the polls.
  • Senate and gubernatorial races entered Election Day essentially tied, with pollsters and strategists warning that only a small shift in turnout could determine winners or force runoffs.
  • State officials confirmed polling places will open at 7 a.m. and close at 7 p.m. on Election Day and said voters in line at closing will be allowed to cast ballots.
  • Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger said election workers, county administrators, investigators, and partisan and independent poll watchers are deployed to monitor operations.
  • Officials and election administrators cautioned that counties have not said how long counting will take after polls close and it remains unknown how many additional in‑person votes will be cast on Election Day.
