With the marquee races of governor and U.S. Senate settled in the primary, turnout was not expected to be nearly as high — and there were only five days of early voting in advance of Tuesday’s election.
Notably, more than 850,000 Georgians cast an in-person ballot or returned an absentee ballot in the weeks before last month’s primary. It’s more than double the number of Georgians who voted in the primary two years ago.
