More than 45,000 Fulton voters cast early ballots in runoff election

Neither Republican Brad Raffensperger nor Democrat John Barrow earned 50 percent of the vote in the November election.

More than 45,000 Fulton County residents have voted early in Georgia’s runoff election.

Early voting took place last week across 15 locations in the county. On Tuesday, voters will decide between Brad Raffensperger and John Barrow for Secretary of State and between Republican Incumbent Chuck Eaton and Democrat Lindy Miller for the District 3 seat for the Public Safety Commission.

Fulton's advance in-person voting and vote-by-mail turnout as of Nov. 30 was 45,165, according to data from the Secretary of State's Office. The county had the highest turnout in Georgia, which netted more than 402,000 statewide early votes after 2.1 million people voted in advance of the Nov. 6 general election.

An elections spokeswoman said Monday that the county didn’t experience any issues during early voting, and they don’t have any “special plans” going into Election Day. She cautioned that voters need to vote at their assigned precinct — not one of the early voting polls — on Election Day.

Voters can verify their correct location here. Polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday.

Nearly 225,000 Fulton County voters cast their ballots early ahead of the general election last month.
