Nearly 529,000 Ballots Cast In Georgia During First Three Days Of Early Voting

Augusta Aiken, GA, October 16, 2026 —
Nearly 529,000 ballots were cast across Georgia during the first three days of early voting, according to the available summary of turnout. Richmond and Columbia counties in the CSRA region were among the areas reporting high participation.
More than 23,000 ballots were cast in the CSRA area during that period, the summary said. It did not provide separate totals for Richmond and Columbia counties, so their individual contributions to the area figure are not available.
The reported figures offer an early snapshot of participation, but the information provided does not identify the election, the specific dates covered, or the source of the turnout totals. It also does not include a comparison with previous elections or explain how participation is distributed among voting methods.
As a result, the figures establish the scale of early voting in the first three days but do not, on their own, show whether turnout is higher or lower than in another election or period. No additional details about county-level totals or subsequent voting activity were provided.
The statewide count was described as nearly 529,000, rather than an exact total. The CSRA figure was reported as more than 23,000 ballots. Further detail on the underlying counts was not included in the summary.
