A map of Georgia showing the percentage-point difference in voter turnout between 2026 and 2024 for voting periods V1-V15, cumulative through May 13th. The map is color-coded by precinct: * **Dark Green:** Over 2 percentage points (pp) ahead of 2024 turnout. * **Light Green:** 0.5 to 2 pp ahead. * **White:** Approximately tied (within 0.5 pp). * **Light Red:** 0.5 to 2 pp behind. * **Dark Red:** Over 2 pp behind. The majority of the state is shaded in light green, indicating a slight increase in turnout. Notable concentrations of dark green (significant increase) are visible in the Atlanta metropolitan area and near Savannah. Clusters of red (decreased turnout) are primarily located in the southwestern and east-central regions of the state. Surrounding states and major cities are labeled for geographic context.
An interactive digital dashboard featuring a choropleth map of Georgia, divided by county. The map displays "2026 turnout rate" for Democratic ballots, with a color scale where darker shades of blue indicate higher turnout. **Key Dashboard Details:** * **Selected Filters:** The "Democrat" ballot type and "County" view are active. * **Map Mode:** The map is set to "Turnout," defined as accepted ballots divided by registered voters. * **Turnout Legend:** * **Lightest blue/gray:** 0.00%–1.9% * **Light blue:** 1.9%–3.3% * **Medium blue:** 3.3%–5.2% * **Darker blue:** 5.2%–7.4% * **Darkest blue:** >7.4% * **Visual Trends:** Higher turnout (darker blue) is concentrated in the metro Atlanta area, around Augusta, and in several counties in the southwest near Albany. Most other rural counties are shaded in the lighter blue ranges (0.00%–3.3%). The map includes standard navigation tools like zoom buttons and is powered by Mapbox and OpenStreetMap.
This graphic provides a detailed breakdown of early voting statistics in Georgia for the 2026 cycle, specifically comparing Democratic and Republican ballot counts against the same period in 2024. The data reflects a significant increase in early participation for both major parties, though the growth rates and total volumes differ. Democratic Ballot Statistics The Democratic party currently holds a lead in total early ballots cast, accounting for 53.8% of the 389,306 accepted ballots. Total Ballots: 209,349 (representing 2.8% of all registered Democratic voters). Voting Method: The vast majority were cast in-person (200,750), followed by mail-in (8,331) and electronic (268). Year-over-Year Growth: This represents a massive 197% increase compared to the 106,315 ballots cast during the same period in 2024, an addition of 103,034 voters. Republican Ballot Statistics The Republican party accounts for 44.7% of the total accepted ballots. Total Ballots: 174,159 (representing 2.4% of all registered Republican voters). Voting Method: Similar to the Democrats, the bulk of these were in-person (168,043), with 6,080 mail-in and 36 electronic ballots. Year-over-Year Growth: Republican turnout has also seen a sharp rise, up 133% from the 130,669 ballots cast in the equivalent 2024 period, adding 43,490 voters to their total.
The provided map illustrates a shifting political landscape in Georgia as of May 2026, comparing current early voting data to the Day 11 benchmark from the 2024 election. The data measures the Democratic share of all ballots cast per district, highlighting whether the party is overperforming or underperforming its relative turnout from the previous presidential cycle. Broadly, the map is dominated by varying shades of blue, indicating that in most districts, Democratic-affiliated voters make up a larger percentage of the electorate now than they did at this point two years ago. The most consistent gains for the Democratic share are concentrated in the Atlanta metropolitan area and its surrounding northern suburbs. This trend suggests a continuation of the suburban realignment that has defined Georgia politics over the last several years, with high-density areas maintaining or increasing their participation levels. Interestingly, significant "dark blue" clusters—representing a percentage-point increase of 16.2 or higher—are also visible in the southern and southeastern coastal regions of the state, suggesting a surge in relative turnout in more rural or coastal communities compared to the 2024 baseline. In contrast, several regions in East-Central and Southwest Georgia appear in shades of red, signaling that the Democratic share of the electorate in those specific districts has contracted. These areas, particularly those bordering South Carolina and the regions surrounding Albany, are currently underperforming their 2024 participation levels. This creates a polarized map where urban and coastal gains are being offset by a relative decrease in Democratic engagement in the state’s interior rural corridors.
This map provides a visual breakdown of the Democratic share of total ballots in Georgia, specifically modeled or projected for **2026**. It uses a color-coded heat map to display political leanings across various districts. --- ## **Key Takeaways from the Map** ### **1. The Color Logic** The map is centered on a **50% threshold**: * **Blue Shades:** Represent a Democratic majority (over 50%). The darker the blue, the higher the Democratic share. * **Red Shades:** Represent a Democratic minority (under 50%). The darker the red, the lower the Democratic share (and likely the higher the Republican share). * **Scale:** The legend indicates the spectrum ranges from $\le 13\%$ to $\ge 87\%$. ### **2. Geographic Trends** * **The Urban Core (Atlanta):** As expected, the most concentrated area of dark blue is the **Atlanta metropolitan area**. This region shows a very high Democratic majority, with the darkest blues concentrated in the city center and radiating into its immediate suburbs. * **Secondary Urban Hubs:** You can see "islands" of blue or light blue around other major cities such as **Augusta**, **Columbus**, **Savannah** (southeast coast), and **Albany**. * **The Rural North:** Northern Georgia is dominated by deep red, indicating a strong Democratic minority and a high concentration of Republican-leaning voters. * **The "Black Belt":** A visible band of light blue and pale red stretches across the center-south of the state, historically corresponding to regions with higher African American populations and more competitive or Democratic-leaning voting patterns. --- ## **Data Context** The map includes a "Map Mode" selector at the top, showing that this specific view is for **DEM ÷ ALL** (Democratic ballots divided by all ballots).
This map illustrates the **change in the Democratic share of ballots** in Georgia for the **2026 election cycle** compared to the same point in the **2024 election**. Specifically, it tracks the percentage-point difference ($\Delta$) in the partisan makeup of the electorate. Here is a breakdown of what the data represents: ### **The Metric** The map uses a "$\Delta$ DEM share" mode. The calculation compares the proportion of ballots cast by Democrats so far in 2026 against the first seven days of voting in 2024: $$(Democratic / Total\ Ballots)_{2026} - (Democratic / Total\ Ballots)_{2024}$$ ### **The Color Legend** * **Blue:** Indicates that Democrats currently make up a **larger share** of the voters in that district than they did at this point in 2024. Darker blue represents a more significant increase (up to $+17.5$ percentage points). * **Red:** Indicates that Democrats make up a **smaller share** of the voters compared to 2024. Darker red represents a sharper decline (down to $-17.5$ percentage points). * **White/Light Colors:** Indicate areas where the partisan share is relatively stable or unchanged from the 2024 baseline. ### **Observations** * **Geographic Shifts:** Much of the map, particularly in **South Georgia** and the **Northwest**, shows deep blue shades, suggesting that Democratic-leaning voters in these areas are participating at a higher relative rate than in the previous cycle. * **Atlanta Metro:** The area around Atlanta shows a mix of light blue and light red, indicating that the partisan balance in the state's most populous region is remaining closer to the 2024 baseline compared to the more dramatic shifts in rural areas. In short, this is a tool for political analysts to see if one party is "over-performing" or "under-performing" their previous turnout patterns in real-time.
The 2026 statewide Democrat ballot turnout shows a notable shift toward older and Black voters compared to the same period in 2024. The 65+ demographic currently commands the largest share of accepted ballots at 58%—a 4% increase from 2024—while participation among voters under 45 remains relatively low at a combined 11%. Racially, the share of ballots from Black voters has risen to 64% (up from 61%), while the share from White voters has dipped slightly to 25%. Gender dynamics remain consistent with previous cycles; female voters maintain a strong majority at 61%, though this represents a marginal 1% decrease from 2024, as the male share has ticked up to 39%. Overall, while older and Black demographics show the highest turnout rates, the younger and minority groups like Hispanic and Asian voters continue to represent a smaller, though slightly growing, portion of the early voting electorate.
This map provides a detailed breakdown of the **Democratic share of total ballots** for the **2026 Georgia State House districts**. The data is visualized using a "diverging" color scale centered at 50%, illustrating the partisan lean across different regions of the state. ### **Core Data Breakdown** * **Map Mode:** `DEM ÷ ALL` (Democratic ballots divided by the total number of ballots). * **Blue Districts:** Indicate a Democratic majority (over 50% share). * **Red Districts:** Indicate a Democratic minority (under 50% share). * **Scale:** The intensity of the color ranges from $\le 13\%$ (deep red) to $\ge 87\%$ (deep blue). --- ### **Regional Geographic Trends** #### **1. The Atlanta Core (Deep Blue)** The most prominent feature is the **Metro Atlanta area**, which serves as the state’s Democratic stronghold. The districts in the immediate city center and the inner-ring suburbs show the darkest shades of blue, indicating a Democratic share approaching or exceeding 87%. This concentration highlights the urban-rural divide that often defines Georgia's political landscape. #### **2. Secondary Urban Hubs** Beyond Atlanta, Democratic majorities are clustered around other major population centers: * **Augusta:** Shows a strong blue cluster on the eastern border. * **Savannah:** Displays a blue concentration on the coast. * **Columbus & Albany:** These western and southwestern cities show pockets of blue, though they appear slightly lighter than the Atlanta core, suggesting a more competitive but still Democratic-leaning environment. #### **3. The "Red North" and Rural Divide** The northern part of the state (outside of the Atlanta metro area) is characterized by deep red, representing some of the lowest Democratic shares in the state. Similarly, much of the rural southern and southeastern portions of Georgia remain firmly in the red, with the exception of the aforementioned urban pockets and parts of the "Black Belt"—a region across the center of the state that hi…
Shawn Harris, an Army veteran and a moderate candidate, is expected to be the top-performing Democrat, most likely setting up a runoff between Mr. Harris and one of the Republican candidates. The winner of the runoff, scheduled for April 7, will immediately begin serving to complete Ms. Greene's unfinished term. Meanwhile, a separate race is underway — with many of the same candidates — to win the November election to serve a full two-year term in the same seat. The primaries for that race are scheduled for May 19. Kellen Browning is a Times political reporter based in San Francisco.

By doing this, he knows Georgia will continue to attract new jobs and investments."
A sweeping proposal passed by the Senate Ethics Committee on Monday would require switching to preprinted, hand-marked paper ballots scanned by machines, end county- and municipality-wide in-person early voting, and overhaul how the state conducts election audits. It's unclear how much the dramatic changes would cost to implement.

The two pie charts compare the early voter turnout and overlap between the 2021 and 2025 elections. 📈 Key Insights from the Data Overall Turnout Growth: Early voter participation saw a significant increase, growing from 3,519 total voters in 2021 to 5,767 total voters in 2025. Analysis of 2021 Voters (Left Chart): This chart breaks down the 3,519 people who voted early in 2021. 54.2% (1,908 people) were repeat early voters, meaning they "Also voted 2025." 45.8% (1,610 people) "Did not vote 2025" (at least, not during the early voting period). Analysis of 2025 Voters (Right Chart): This chart breaks down the 5,767 people who voted early in 2025. 66.9% (3,859 people) were new early voters, meaning they "Did not vote 2021." 33.1% (1,907 people) were returning early voters, meaning they "Also voted 2021."
This bar chart provides a more detailed, precinct-by-precinct breakdown of the voter overlap data from the first image. It compares two different metrics for each precinct (e.g., MR1A, MR2A, etc.): Blue Bars (2021 voters who also voted 2025): This shows the retention rate of 2021 early voters. For example, in precinct MR1A, 62.9% of the people who voted early in 2021 returned to vote early in 2025. Orange Bars (2025 voters who also voted 2021): This shows the composition of the 2025 early voters. For example, in precinct MR1A, only 22.2% of the 2025 early voter pool were returning voters from 2021. This means the other 77.8% were new early voters. 📊 Key Observations by Precinct High Retention of 2021 Voters (Blue): MR1A (62.9%) MR2A (61.9%) MR7A (57.8%) MR5A (57.3%) High Influx of New Voters in 2025 (Indicated by low orange bars): MR6A: Only 10.2% of its 2025 early voters were from 2021 (meaning 89.8% were new). MR7A: Only 16.2% were from 2021 (meaning 83.8% were new). MR1A & MR5B: Both had only 22.2% returning voters (meaning 77.8% were new). Precincts Dominated by Returning Voters in 2025 (High orange bars): MR4A: 52.7% of its 2025 early voters were repeats from 2021. MR4C: 47.3% of its 2025 early voters were repeats.

This is a line chart titled "City of Marietta Early Voting: 2021 vs 2025 Comparison." It plots the cumulative citywide vote totals against the number of days remaining until the election. X-Axis: "Days Until Election," running from 22 down to 4. The data is noted as being "As of 10/31/25." Y-Axis: "Cumulative Votes (Citywide)." The chart displays two lines: Blue Line ("2021 Early Vote"): This line shows a gradual increase in cumulative votes during the 2021 early voting period, ending at a "2021 Final Total: 3,519 votes." Orange Line ("2025 Observed"): This line is consistently and significantly higher than the 2021 line, showing a steeper increase in cumulative votes. It ends at a point labeled "2025 Total (as of Day 4): 5,767 votes." The key takeaway from the chart is that early voting turnout in 2025 is substantially higher than in 2021. As of 4 days before the election, the 2025 cumulative total has already surpassed the final 2021 total by more than 2,000 votes. The source is cited as "GA SoS, Civic Forge Solutions."
Chart Summary This chart compares the daily number of recorded early votes for the November 2025 election (represented by the blue line) against the daily counts from the 2021 election (represented by the orange bars). The x-axis shows the number of days remaining until Election Day, counting down from 21 to 4. Key Observations Overall Trend: Both years show a similar pattern: relatively low, steady turnout further out from the election, followed by a significant surge in voting as Election Day gets closer (starting around 9-10 days out). Higher 2025 Turnout: The most notable takeaway is that the 2025 early voting turnout is consistently higher than 2021's, and this gap widens significantly in the final days shown. Specific Data Point: At the "4 Days Until Election Day" mark, the 2025 election recorded over 10,000 votes (approximately 10,500), while the 2021 election saw approximately 7,700 votes on the same corresponding day.
A line chart titled "City of Marietta Early Voting: 2021 Actual vs 2025 Observed & Projected," displaying cumulative citywide totals. The x-axis plots "Days Until Election" (counting down from 22 to 4), and the y-axis plots "Cumulative Votes (Citywide)" (from 0 to over 6000). The chart compares two main datasets: 2021 Early Vote (Blue Line): This line shows a steady cumulative increase, with key points labeled "2021 Actual @ Day 5: 2,909" and a final total of "2021 Actual @ Day 4: 3,442." 2025 (Orange/Yellow Lines): This series starts as a solid orange "2025 Observed" line, which is significantly steeper and higher than the 2021 line. It reaches a labeled point "2025 Actual @ Day 5: 4,936." From this point, the line splits into three projection lines (Conservative, Hybrid, Optimistic) extending to Day 4. The "Hybrid" projection endpoint is highlighted as "2025 Projection @ Day 4: 5,828."
The table (Image 2) is a detailed, partial breakdown of the data shown in the chart (Image 1). The "Grand total" in the table is a subset of the total shown on the bar chart. Here is a direct comparison using Day 5 as an example: Bar Chart (Total): On "5 Days Until Election Day," the total number of recorded votes for 2025 was approximately 5,700. Table (Partial): On that same day, the total votes from the specific neighborhoods shown (Kirkwood, East Atlanta, etc.) was 719. This means that the 719 votes detailed in the table are just one part of the 5,700 total votes cast that day. The table provides a granular, neighborhood-level look at where some of the voting activity is coming from, while the chart shows the complete, election-wide trend.
This is a combination bar and line chart titled "Nov 2025 Election vs Total 2021 Early Voting Counts." Y-axis: Labeled "# of Recorded Votes," with a scale from 0 to 8,000 (8K). X-axis: Labeled "Days Until Election Day," counting down from 21 to 0. Legend: The blue line represents the 2021 voting counts. The orange bars represent the 2025 voting counts. Key Observations from the Chart: Overall Trend: For both years, the number of daily early votes generally increases as Election Day gets closer (moving from left to right on the chart). Peak Voting: Both years show a significant spike in voting 4 days before Election Day. 2021 vs. 2025 Comparison: Early/Mid Period (21 to 5 days out): The 2025 daily vote counts (orange bars) are consistently higher than the 2021 counts (blue line). Peak (Day 4): This trend reverses dramatically at the peak. In 2021, there was a massive surge to nearly 8,000 votes. In 2025, the peak was lower, at approximately 5,700 votes. Final Days (3 to 0 days out): Voting drops off sharply to near zero for both years, indicating the early voting period has likely ended.
This chart tracks the "Cumulative Citywide Totals" for early voting in Atlanta, comparing the 2021 election with the observed and projected data for the 2025 election. Key Observations 2025 Turnout is Pacing Ahead: The 2025 "Observed" cumulative vote total (solid orange line) is consistently higher than the 2021 "Early Vote" total (solid blue line) at every point in the timeline. Comparison at Day 6: 2025 Actual @ Day 6: 30,059 votes 2021 Actual @ Day 6: 26,553 votes Difference: As of 6 days before Election Day, 2025 is 3,506 votes ahead of where 2021 was at the same point. Final Totals and Projections: 2021 Final Total (Actual @ Day 4): 38,601 votes 2025 Projected Total (Hybrid @ Day 4): 43,187 votes Key Insight: Unlike the Marietta chart, Atlanta's 2025 current total (30,059) has not yet surpassed the final 2021 total (38,601). However, the "Hybrid" projection estimates that 2025 will finish with approximately 4,586 more early votes than in 2021. Voting Rate: The gap between the 2025 and 2021 lines appears to widen, particularly after Day 10. This indicates that the rate of early voting in the final 10 days is stronger in 2025 than it was in 2021.
This chart, "City of Marietta Early Voting: 2021 Actual vs 2025 Observed & Projected," shows the cumulative citywide totals for early voting. Key Observations Significantly Higher Turnout in 2025: The 2025 observed early voting (solid orange line) is tracking significantly higher than the 2021 actual early voting (solid blue line) at every point in the timeline.

End-of-Voting Comparison: 2021 Final Total (at Day 4): 3,442 votes 2025 Current Total (at Day 6): 4,348 votes Key Insight: The cumulative early vote total for 2025 with 6 days still to go has already surpassed the entire 2021 early vote total by 906 votes. 2025 Projections: The chart provides three projections for the final cumulative total at Day 4: Conservative (red dash): Projects a total that looks to be slightly below the "Hybrid" model. Hybrid (orange dash): This model is highlighted, projecting a final total of 5,564 cumulative votes. Optimistic (yellow dash): Projects the highest turnout, appearing to finish slightly above the hybrid model.
Based on the image you provided, here is an analysis of the two charts. The image displays two line charts comparing daily early vote returns for 12 different council districts in 2021 and 2025. Top Chart (2021): Shows the "# of Recorded Votes" (Y-axis) from 0 to 600, plotted against the "Days Until Election Day" (X-axis) from 21 down to 6. Bottom Chart (2025): Shows the same data, but the Y-axis scale only goes up to 500. Key Observations Overall Volume: The 2021 election appears to have had a higher volume of early vote returns in the final days leading up to the election. The 2021 chart's scale (up to 600) and the peak of the lines support this. Voting Pattern: Both years show a similar daily rhythm, with lulls (e.g., around day 16 and day 9) followed by significant surges, especially in the last few days shown (days 8 to 6). Top Districts (2021): District 8 (dark teal, dashed line) showed the strongest surge, peaking well above 500 votes at 6 days out. District 7 (light teal, dashed line) also had a very high return, finishing above 400 votes. Top Districts (2025): The leading districts changed. District 7 (light teal, dashed line) and District 5 (beige, dashed line) show the highest returns, with District 7 approaching 500 votes and District 5 finishing above 400. District 8, which was the leader in 2021, is significantly lower in 2025, finishing closer to 300 votes. In summary, while the daily voting patterns are similar, the 2025 data shows a lower overall volume of early votes and a different set of districts leading the returns compared to 2021.
A combination bar and line chart titled "Nov 2025 Election vs Total 2021 Early Voting Counts," comparing daily early voting turnout. The vertical y-axis represents the "# of Recorded Votes," scaled from 0K to 8K. The horizontal x-axis represents "Days Until Election Day," counting down from 21 to 0. A legend indicates that the blue line represents "2021" data, and the orange bars represent "2025" data. The 2025 data (orange bars) shows daily vote counts generally ranging from 1,000 to 2,500. There is a noticeable increase starting around 8 days out, peaking at approximately 3,800 votes at 6 days out. The 2025 data stops at 5 days until Election Day, suggesting the data for the final days is not yet available. The 2021 data (blue line) shows a more dramatic trend, staying relatively low (between 1,000 and 2,000) for most of the period, then rising sharply to a large peak of nearly 8,000 votes at 4 days out, before dropping significantly in the final 3 days.
