It’s late October, Do You Know Where Your Polling Place Is?

The polling places located across the state of Georgia were busy during the first week of the early voting period. Ranging from Oct. 15 to Nov. 1, the early voting period in Georgia saw a record number of participants during the first day in 2020 (136,000 votes cast), but that record was broken and more than doubled in 2024 with more than 300,000 votes cast on the first day. As of Sunday, Oct. 20, more than 1.3 million Georgians voted early. 

Knowing where your local polling place is and what you need to properly vote early or on Election Day, November 5, is important to the process of a fair election. Fulton County, Georgia’s largest county, has the majority of the state’s 2,300-plus polling places. 

The importance of easily accessible polling places has had an immediate impact on the current presidential election and local down ballot elections. As of Sunday, 160,676 ballots were cast in Fulton County, according to data provided by the Secretary of State’s online election data hub. The often-used phrase “know before you go” is going to be important in Georgia heading into the second week of the early voting period. 

In Dekalb County, the fourth largest county in Georgia, 98,006 voters cast ballots during the first week of the early voting period. Georgia Senator Rev. Raphael Warnock cast his vote at a polling place on the campus of a local church where the nearest polling station was once inside the Gallery at South DeKalb mall before closing. The once popular polling place inside the metro Atlanta shopping mall recently closed, and thus the need for a new local polling place inside the auditorium at New Life Church. In a county Like Dekalb County where there are 509,896 registered voters, knowing where the polling places are is crucial.
