Georgia showed UP for the first day of Early In-Person voting, with a record-shattering 190,294 votes (according to Georgia Secretary of State Election Data Hub). This is a nearly 40% increase in voter turnout from the first day of voting in 2022.
Can I just vote online?
NO. You CANNOT vote online in Georgia. If you find a site that offers online voting in an official election, it is NOT a valid site.
The State of Georgia does NOT offer online voting.
