The Marietta Daily Journal – Officials see light early voting turnout

“It’s been very slow” said Janine Eveler, director of the Cobb Board of Elections.

As of Wednesday, 8,514 people had cast ballots, either by coming to an early voting polling station or by mailing in absentee ballots, according to the county.

There are 392,761 registered voters in Cobb, Eveler said.

In-person votes during the early voting period are tallied along party lines. As of Wednesday, 5,565 Republicans have voted at an early voting polling station. For Democrats, 1,586 have come in early to vote, and 28 non-partisan voters have cast their ballots.

Of the 2,512 absentee ballots issued by the county, 1,335 have been tallied as of Wednesday.

Mail-in ballots are not broken down along party lines when counted.

Eveler stressed all absentee ballots will be counted before election officials are allowed to go home on Election Day.
