A relatively high number of Georgia residents have cast their ballots during the state’s early voting phase of the 2022 midterm elections, the Secretary of State’s office said in a statement.
“Friday’s total marks a 51 percent increase from day five of 2018 midterm Early Voting and is only 18 percent less than the total of day five of Early Voting in the 2020 Presidential election,” officials said. “Georgia has had record Early Voting turnout since the first day of Early Voting this year, surging to nearly twice the number on the first day of Early Voting in 2018. ”
