Early Voting Surge and Election Day Momentum
Georgia is witnessing significant voter engagement in the 2024 presidential election, with over 700,000 ballots cast by early afternoon on Election Day.

Combined with a record-breaking early voting period, the total vote count may exceed 5 million, surpassing the nearly 5 million ballots cast in 2020.
Smooth Operations Despite Minor Issues
While a few minor issues emerged at certain polling locations, Raffensperger reported that the process has been running smoothly overall. Voters are averaging just 3-4 minutes per vote, reflecting efficient management at polling stations across the state.
