Georgia 2024 presidential primary: Early voting ends March 8

A big final week of early voting for Georgia’s presidential primary began Monday as about 240,000 people have already cast their ballots.

Election officials expect turnout to rise in the last week of early voting ahead of election day March 12.

Nearly 224,000 people had voted at in-person early voting locations through Sunday, and over 16,000 people returned absentee ballots, according to state election data.

Georgia’s presidential primary will be held one week after Super Tuesday, the largest day of voting in the presidential primary with elections in 16 states.

Compared with Georgia’s 2020 presidential primary, held during the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, in-person turnout is higher so far this year. The overall number of ballots cast, however, is far lower because about half of voters returned absentee ballots. In all, about 2 million people participated in the 2020 primary.

All Georgia voters are eligible to participate in either the Democratic or Republican primaries. The candidates include Democrat Joe Biden, Republican Donald Trump and Republican Nikki Haley.

Voters can find early voting sites and hours through the state’s My Voter Page at mvp.sos.ga.gov.
