Thursday, the last day of early voting for the November 6 elections, was by far the largest single day turnout during the two week period for casting ballots.
364 people voted Thursday and all but 10 were in person. The others were by absentee. That brings the total number of early voters from October 17 to November 1 to 3,114, almost doubling the 1,660 early voting turnout during the mid terms of November 2014 in DeKalb County and easily surpassing the 2,361 number of early voters during the August, 2018 election. Two years ago in the November 2016 Presidential Election 3,992 voted early in DeKalb County.
Election day voting on Tuesday, November 6 is 8 a.m. until 7 p.m. at all 15 precincts in the county.
Voters will elect a Governor, U.S. Senator, Congressman in the 6th District, State Senator in District 17, and State Representatives in Districts 40 & 46.
WJLE will have LIVE election return coverage on the local, state and national scene beginning Tuesday night at 7 p.m. on AM 1480/FM 101.7 and LIVE streaming at www.wjle.com
