From the Georgia Secretary of State’s office, with numbers through Tuesday:
So far, 265,540 of Cobb County’s 537,565 registered voters have already turned out to vote early, representing 49% of the total registered votes in the county. This significant early turnout number tracks with the record turnout seen across Georgia and throughout the country.
Of the 265,540 ballots cast in Cobb County so far, 123,498 absentee by mail ballots have been returned by mail or through the more than 200 absentee ballot dropboxes that have been installed across the state. The drop boxes were first allowed following a rule passed by the State Election Board, which is chaired by Secretary Raffensperger, earlier this year at the request of county elections officials.
Much of the surge in early voting has come from record early, in-person voting. In Cobb County so far, 142,042 voters have cast ballots early, in-person.
Early voting continues through 7 p.m. Wednesday and on Thursday-Friday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
You can check wait times at early voting places by clicking here; voters can return absentee ballots 24/7 until 7 p.m. election day at any of 16 absentee ballot drop boxes, including locations at the Mountain View, Sewell Mill and Gritters libraries and the East Cobb Government Service Center.
