In recent presidential elections, Georgia has always been a key state for both parties. The tone of the 2024 election has compelled many new voters to cast their ballots. Both parties are hoping to have an impact on Georgia voters. Over 670,000 early voters in Georgia had never cast a ballot before. Georgia set a new record for the first day of early voting in 2024 with over 300,000 ballots cast.
Current Patterns of Voting
Georgia’s early voting began with unprecedented numbers for the 2024 Presidential Election, with 310,000 ballots cast on the first day alone. This record turnout raises concerns about shifts in voting behavior compared to 2020. Early voting numbers for various years show significant growth, with only 434,221 voting by day seven in 2018, 846,121 in 2020, and 760,954 in 2022.
Georgia’s electoral leadership contributes to increased voting accessibility through initiatives such as automatic registration and no-excuse absentee voting. Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger stated, “Georgia voters understand that we have made it simple to vote. It really is that simple.”
More than half a million people in Georgia who didn’t vote in the presidential election four years ago cast a ballot this month during early voting. These voters could make a big difference in such a close state. By @pquinton99 #gapol https://t.co/xSLYixLFsz pic.twitter.com/bQsv6b87OA

Impact and Analysis
The increase of more than 1.5 million early voters as of October 21, 2024, demonstrates Georgians’ strong determination to participate in the electoral process. As of October 28, 40.1% of the state’s registered voters had cast their ballots, indicating a potentially significant shift in political dynamics. Officials anticipate that nearly 4 million early voters will cast ballots before the deadline.
Georgia voters are savvy. Despite years of lies from Stacey Abrams, failed lawyers, and ‘experts,’ Georgia voters broke records yesterday and turned out in record numbers because they believe Georgia’s voting system is secure, efficient, and accurate. This is why we rank first in terms of election integrity and voter convenience. We’re battle tested and ready to serve every legal Georgia voter. – Secretary Raffensperger
The engagement of new voters, particularly those who did not vote in the 2020 election, is still critical. These new voters have the potential to influence outcomes, particularly in swing states such as Georgia, Arizona, and Pennsylvania, where large numbers of voters are joining political parties.

Long-Term Implications
Understanding why more than 670,000 previous early voters did not vote in the 2020 election could help improve engagement strategies for future elections. Demographic changes, legal changes such as new voting statutes, and political realignment are all important areas for further investigation into the state’s approach to increasing turnout.
An informed analysis of these trends may support increased voter participation, ensuring that Georgia’s electoral officials are working in the right direction to engage a changing voter base. This understanding is critical for addressing new challenges and capitalizing on positive shifts in voter behavior.
