ALBANY, Ga. — The early returns on voter interest are in and while the turnout is extremely light, Dougherty County’s per capita turnout so far for the July 20 primary elections is one of the highest in the state.
Still, that is a small segment — under one-half of 1 percent — of the eligible voters in the county.
According to election information obtained through the Georgia Secretary of State’s Office, only 13,143 of the state’s 4.9 million registered voters have taken advantage of the first two weeks of a month-long early voting period.
According to the document, Cobb County leads all Georgia counties in number of voters who have cast ballots with 562. Fulton, Chatham, Gwinnett and Ware round out the top five. Dougherty County finished Wednesday’s election period with 200 voters having gone to the polls.
