There are still Saturday and Sunday totals to be added, but Cobb Elections is saying that through Friday, a grand total of 197,.548 ballots have been cast in  the first two weeks of early voting for the 2024 general elections.cobb advance voting, Cobb voter registration deadline, Walton and Dickerson PTSA candidates forum

The Georgia Secretary of State’s office Election Data Hub reports that that’s nearly 40 percent of Cobb’s registered voters, with six more days of early voting plus election day on Nov. 5.

Voting continues from Sunday 12-5, but at limited locations. The East Cobb Government Service Center (4400 Lower Roswell Road) will be among them.

That will be the last weekend day for early voting. Next week, early voting will be Monday-Friday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m at 12 locations, including the East Cobb Government Service Center and the Tim D. Lee Senior Center (3332 Sandy Plains Road).

You can also drop off an absentee ballot at the East Cobb Government Service Center during early voting hours.

Those are also record figures statewide, as Georgia remains in play in the presidential race. Both the Harris and Trump campaigns will continue to appear in the state and metro Atlanta in the final week.

Across the state, more than 2.5 million votes have been cast, reflecting a turnout of nearly 50 percent of registered voters in Georgia.

Cobb Elections figures show that of those early votes already cast, 7,750 are absentee ballots that have been mailed in, out of nearly 12,000 returned. More than 27,000 absentee ballots have been requested as of Friday, the deadline for doing so.
