Forty-eight point two percent of registered voters have cast their ballots as of the end of day Wednesday. That’s 3,482,017 through day 16, breaking records from 2020 and 2022 when 2.1 million and 1.7 million cast ballots during the same time period.
Analysis by the AJC and GeorgiaVotes dot com found 613,000 Georgians who didn’t vote in the 2020 presidential election have already cast a ballot during early voting. They include voters who weren’t old enough to vote four years ago, residents who’ve moved back after living in other states for a time and voters who’ve been registered for decades but skipped the 2020 election. More than 50 percent of the new voters are white, with voters under 29 making up the largest age group.
Georgia’s Secretary of State says he will stand by the results of the election, no matter who wins.
