Georgia Sets Early-Voting Record on First Midterm Day

Record opening day

Georgia voters set a record for turnout on the first day of early voting for a midterm election. The record applies to the opening day of the state’s early-voting period.

What the record means

Early voting allows voters to cast ballots before Election Day. This record concerns the number of voters who participated on the first day of that period, rather than turnout across the full election.

Election process

The record is tied to Georgia’s midterm election and does not identify a particular race or candidate. It describes participation in the voting process across the state.

Voters who take part during early voting cast their ballots before the election’s final day. The first-day record provides a measure of how many people participated at the start of the early-voting period.
