Georgia early voting down
Atlanta – Fewer Georgians appear to be taking advantage of early voting in the Nov. 6 election, although the biggest turnout may start today as polls open for a mandatory weekend day.
Voting opportunities will increase starting Monday as counties, especially in metro Atlanta, expand the number of early voting polling sites and extend hours. Early voting ends Friday.
Nearly 690,000 early ballots have been cast so far this election, according to the Georgia Secretary of State’s Office.
In Tennessee, state election officials say early voters are continuing a strong turnout.
Figures posted Thursday afternoon on the Division of Elections website said the statewide total of voters who have already cast ballots was just under 731,000.
