There has been high turnout for early voting. Almost 2.1 million votes have been cast in Georgia ahead of Tuesday's election.
If Abrams wins, she will become the nation’s first black female governor.
Meanwhile, just two days before the election Kemp's office has accused the Democratic Party of attempting to hack the state's voter registration system. The allegations were made without evidence of the hacking. Democrats have called the allegations "100 percent false."
There have also been widespread allegations of voter suppression, particularly of African-Americans voters, which Kemp denies.
Kemp had argued that state law already provides a process for new citizens to vote, according to a previous article in The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Other speakers at the rally include best-selling author and theologian Jim Wallis; U.S. Rep. John Lewis; the Rev. Traci Blackmon, executive minister of justice for the United Church of Christ; and Rabbi Sharon Brous of IKAR in Los Angeles.
