Early voting in Georgia for the midterm election continues to break records, with just under 400,000 voters having cast ballots through Thursday morning.

Georgia has seen record turnout since the first day of early voting this year, surging to nearly twice the number seen on the first day of early voting in 2018. Thursday’s total continues to surpass the previous midterm early voting records made in the 2018 midterm election, and the cumulative total is only 15,000 votes under the Presidential election cumulative total at this point in 2020.

When combined with absentee ballots received, 435,000 Georgia voters have cast their ballot through Thursday morning.
