ALBANY, GA (WALB) – It’s slow going for early voting in Albany. 11,000 people are registered to vote in Wards II and III, but just a little more than 100 of them have voted so far in those two contested city commission races.

The Elections Supervisor is surprised turnout is so low. The office has received 34 absentee ballots and just broke the 100 mark of voters this morning even though it’s the third week of early voting.

“I believe the candidates are doing their part to make sure the voters are aware they are running for office, and there is an election,” said Ginger Nickerson, Election Supervisor. “I just can’t really answer why they haven’t come out yet. But we’re still waiting on them.”
