Overview
- State and independent dashboards reported more than 1 million ballots cast as of Tuesday morning Oct. 20, with the Georgia Secretary of State’s Election Data Hub showing about 1,040,915 and GeorgiaVotes.com showing roughly 1,027,037.
- The spike followed a record first day of in-person early voting on Oct. 13 when 188,667 people cast ballots, a roughly 40 percent rise over the 2022 opening day.
- Older voters are driving the early totals, with voters 65 and older making up about 46.8 percent of ballots counted in the voter-file breakdown.
- Officials stress the figures are unofficial because counties will finish uploading voter credit after Election Day and the state and private trackers update at different times.
- High-profile campaign activity has intensified in Georgia for governor, U.S. Senate and other statewide races, and the strong early turnout could affect which contests are competitive on Nov. 3.
