The final day to vote in the midterms is Tuesday. Early vote totals have pointed towards record-breaking turnout for the midterms ahead of Election Day.
Over 7.5 million people in 34 states and the District of Columbia have already cast their early ballots. Other states have already beaten previous voting records from the 2020 presidential election.
Georgia has seen the highest record turnout in early voting. As of Saturday morning, Georgia voters made a record-breaking turnout, which concluded with nearly 2.9 million early ballots. This is 6% higher than the final day of early voting in the 2020 presidential election.
“Georgia voters came out in near presidential-level numbers,” said Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger. “County election directors handled that demand with the utmost professionalism. They navigated a whole host of challenges and executed seamlessly. They deserve our highest praise.”
If current early voter turnout is an indicator, voters may have long wait times on Tuesday.
