Early voting in Georgia will take place from October 15 to November 1. Although the first day of voting has not yet ended, Georgia has already seen a record number of in-person voters, more than 200,000, according to the Atlanta Journal. Last month, voters in three states, Virginia, Minnesota, and South Dakota, began voting in person in the presidential election. After Georgia, North Carolina will also hold early voting from October 17 to November 2. Although Republican candidate Donald Trump has often been skeptical of early voting in the past, the Republican National Committee has embraced the concept this year as an important way to collect votes in advance because weather and other factors can affect turnout on Election Day, November 5. Democrats have taken advantage of early voting options in recent elections, turning out millions of votes in the process. According to statistics, 3 weeks before Election Day, more than 5 million voters in the US have voted early. This number is equivalent to 3% of the total votes in the 2020 election. Virginia is the first state to vote early with more than 708,000 votes. According to data from Catalist, the Democratic Party leads the Republican Party in the total number of votes before the election in the important states of Pennsylvania and North Carolina. Seven states are considered battleground states in the US presidential election: Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Nevada, Arizona, Georgia, and North Carolina. Only 4 of the 7 important states won the election in the voter registration election by party: Arizona, Nevada, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania. According to the Constitution, US citizens aged 18 and over can vote in elections. However, in elections, there is always a large part of the population that does not want to vote, because they are not interested in politics or simply do not like the candidates. In fact, the presidential election in the US is conducted in parallel with the congressional election to choose members of the House of Representatives and the Senate. American voters do not directly elect the president, but they use the popular vote to decide the votes of the electors in the state. These electors then elect the president based on the popular vote results in the state that the voter represents. In addition, depending on the requirements of each state, the voter's ballot will also have other questions such as electing the state governor, electing the state legislature and elected positions, or holding a referendum on a number of issues raised.
