Gwinnett is trailing most of metro Atlanta in voter turnout

One-in-four Gwinnett voters have already cast ballots for the Nov. 3 election, but while that statistic may sound impressive, the county is trailing nearly all of its metro Atlanta neighbors in turnout. As of mid-day Tuesday, 27% of Gwinnett County’s 613,608 active registered voters cast votes in the election, which is headlined by a U.S. Senate showdown between Sen. Jon Ossoff and Congressman Mike Collins as well as the governor race and several other state offices. That equates to 165,591 ballots, the overwhelming majority of which (159, 392 to be exact) were advanced in-person ballots. But, while Gwinnett County has the second highest number of active registered voters in the 11-county Atlanta Regional Commission, which is the main footprint for the metro area, it also has the region’s second lowest voter turnout. Acting Elections Supervisor Kelvin Williams said there are some positive sides to Gwinnett’s turnout, however. The county is trending above where it was at this time during early voting for the 2022 general election, the last time the governor’s office was on the ballot. The county is also slightly above the state, which so far has a 26.6% voter turnout for this election. “It’s always difficult to do
