Total early turnout passed 2022 levels on the fourth day of voting despite one fewer day of in person voting, following a first day midterm record of 188,628 ballots. Through the first six days of voting, Black voters accounted for 34.6% of the cumulative electorate and White voters made up 51.3%. On the first Saturday of voting, the White share fell to 45.5%, which VoteHub analyst Zachary Donnini said was the lowest for any non-Sunday early voting day in four years.
Donnini said Black voters are casting ballots earlier than usual and that lower propensity voters turning out are disproportionately Black compared with the same point in 2024, while White turnout has held up better in the Atlanta area than in rural parts of the state. In the first two days of voting, Black and Latino turnout among voters aged 18 to 29 exceeded 70% of 2024 levels, compared with 31.9% for young White voters. VoteHub noted that remaining votes in Georgia will be much more Republican, though Donnini said the size of that shift remains uncertain as Republicans work to turn out reliable voters before Election Day.
