More than 100,000 voters have already cast their ballots for Georgia’s primary election in the first week of early voting. 

More Georgians voted Monday, the first day of early voting this year than on the first days of voting in the 2022 and 2018 primaries. Georgia Elections Director Blake Evans says so far things are going smoothly.

“We’re seeing our county election officials doing a good job of getting people through the process — and, and I think people really trust our elections process,” he said. 

Evans said sometimes counties will open new polling places during the third week of early voting, which could cause another uptick in ballots cast.

Early voting runs until May 15 and election day in the primary is May 19. Voters can visit the Georgia My Voter Page website to find polling locations in their county, and go to any of those locations to vote early.
