Over 1 million voters have already cast their midterm ballots in Georgia this year as the purple state is one week into its early voting period.

Compared with the 2022 midterm elections, the Peach State has seen a 12% increase in ballots cast in the 2026 elections, according to data released by Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger’s office. Georgia voters will elect a new governor this year and cast ballots in the state’s Senate race between incumbent Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-GA) and Rep. Mike Collins (R-GA).
