Early voting begins in Georgia | Georgia
SUMMARY: Georgia’s early in-person voting has begun for the upcoming election, with over 7 million registered voters encouraged by both Republicans and Democrats to participate early. While voter registration closed on October 7, a recent judge’s ruling dismissed calls for an extension due to Hurricane Helene’s disruptions. Trump’s polling margin against Kamala Harris is widening, contrasting with the tight race observed in 2020. Georgia is a key battleground state, and early voting numbers are expected to be high, following nearly 2.7 million early votes in the previous election. Early voting will continue until the last Friday before Election Day.
