Election Day is still weeks away, but Georgia voters are already starting to cast their ballots.
That’s because state law mandates that counties offer three weeks of early voting before every major election. Each of Georgia’s 159 counties offers at least one early voting location, and unlike with Election Day voting, where residents are assigned a specific precinct, early voters can choose to cast their ballot at any location in their county.
Early voting is offered during the week and on Saturdays at most locations. Polls will also be open on Sundays in some counties.
Tuesday was the first day of early voting for this year’s midterms, which saw a record-setting 189,000 Georgians turn out. Early voting will conclude on Oct. 30.
Georgia residents can check the secretary of state’s My Voter Page to view their voter registration status, sample ballots and other election information. A full list of early voting locations across the state is available below.
