Lumpkin County records 7,395 votes in early voting

LUMPKIN CO., GA

Pollsters say Republican Secretary of State, Brian Kemp, will need a large turnout in rural counties, in the race against Democrat Stacey Abrams to become Georgia’s next governor, to offset what is expected to be a large turnout in metro Atlanta and the suburbs.

Early voting ended on Friday November 2, and Chief Registrar and Elections Manager, Ashley Peck, reports that during the three-week advanced voting session, Lumpkin County received a total of 7,395 early votes, compared to 9,063 in 2016. Peck also said there is a total of 19,574 active voters in Lumpkin County, which shows an increase of almost 4,000 new registered voters, compared to the 15,618 active voters who were registered in 2016.

Also, 429 absentee ballots have been returned, compared to 569 in 2016. However, Peck confirms that more absentee ballots are being received.

The final election day is Tuesday, November 6, 2018.
