Monday, October 21st marked the eighth day of Early Voting for the November 5th Presidential Election. On Friday, Georgia voters surpassed the 1 million mark, and as of Monday at 3:30pm surpassed the 1.5 million mark with 1,504,332 check-ins, shattering previous Early Voting performance.

On day eight of Early Voting in previous years, 533,283(2018), 1,010,162 (2020), and 894,412 (2022) voters had turned out for in-person Early Voting.

“Georgia voters know we’ve made it easy to cast a ballot. It’s really that simple,” said Secretary Raffensperger. “Over the past four years we’ve worked tirelessly to prepare for this election by adding Early Voting days and investing in infrastructure, only to be rewarded with the lies of Jim Crow 2.0 and a missed All-Star Game. We’re battled tested and ready, despite the critics.”

Statewide, reports of long lines were minimal, though there were some reports of voters waiting in line for more than 30 minutes from a few popular voting locations in metro areas. Early voting turnout is expected to increase during the final week of early voting, and all Georgia counties will have two Early Voting Saturdays, with the second on Saturday, October 27th.
