Georgia is recognized as a national leader in elections. It was the first state in the country to implement the trifecta of automatic voter registration, at least 16 days of early voting (which has been called the “gold standard”), and no-excuse absentee voting. Georgia continues to set records for voter turnout and election participation, seeing the largest increase in average turnout of any other state in the 2018 midterm election and record primary turnout in 2020, with over 1.1 million absentee by mail voters and over 1.2 million in-person voters utilizing Georgia’s new, secure, paper ballot voting system.
Georgians are securing their vote!
So far, 1.7 million Georgians have requested to vote from their kitchen table, 625,645 of those ballots have already been accepted. Early voting shattered voting records with more than 700,000 voters in the first five days.
