Friday is the final day of early voting ahead of Election Day in the Georgia primary elections.

Voting locations will be closed over the weekend and Monday, May 21. They reopen 7 a.m. through 7 p.m. on Tuesday, March 22, Election Day.

Turnout among early voters has been lower, compared to past elections. The AJC’s Political Insider reported Monday that turnout for early voting is expected to be lower than four years ago, when about 240,000 cast ballots before Election Day.
