Early voting has started across Georgia ahead of the upcoming election, giving residents the opportunity to cast their ballots before Election Day.
In Georgia, early voting—also called advanced voting—allows registered voters to vote in person prior to Election Day, helping reduce wait times and offering more flexibility for busy schedules. Early voting typically takes place on weekdays, with an additional two Saturdays.
For the 2026 primary election, early voting runs from April 27 through May 15, ahead of Election Day on May 19.
