Early voting in Georgia will take place from October 15th to November 1st. According to the Atlanta Journal, even before the first day of voting is over, Georgia has already seen a record number of in-person voters, exceeding 200,000. Last month, voters in three states – Virginia, Minnesota, and South Dakota – began casting their ballots in person for the presidential election. Following Georgia, North Carolina also held early voting from October 17th to November 2nd. While Republican candidate Donald Trump has often expressed skepticism about early voting in the past, the Republican National Committee has embraced the concept this year as an important way to gather early votes because weather and other factors could affect voter turnout on Election Day, November 5th. Democrats have leveraged early voting options in recent elections, garnering millions of votes in the process. According to statistics, three weeks before Election Day, more than 5 million voters in the US had already cast early ballots. This number is equivalent to 3% of the total votes cast in the 2020 election. Virginia was the first state to vote early with over 708,000 votes. According to data from Catalist, the Democratic Party is leading the Republican Party in total early votes in key states such as 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 four of these seven key states won the election with registered party voters: Arizona, Nevada, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania. By Constitution, US citizens aged 18 and over can participate in elections. However, in elections, a large segment of the population always chooses not to vote, either due to a lack of interest in politics or simply a dislike of the candidates. In fact, presidential elections in the United States are held concurrently with congressional elections to choose members of the House and Senate. American voters do not directly elect the president; instead, they use the popular vote to determine the electors' votes in each state. These electors then elect the president based on the popular vote results in the state they represent. Additionally, depending on the requirements of each state, the ballot may include other questions such as electing a governor, electing members of the state legislature and other elected officials, or holding referendums on specific issues.
