ST. MARYS, Ga. — Across the state, half a million voters filled out their ballots in person a week ahead of the Georgia primaries.
The Camden County elections office says they had around eight percent of residents participate in early voting, which is higher than the state average of five and a half percent.
However, it's difficult to bring people to the polls because voters say they are waiting until the presidential race in November to vote.
The Camden County elections office is emphasizing the importance of people participating in local elections.
And when they talk to early voters, they say the sheriff's race isn't the only thing bringing people to the polls.
“Representative for Camden County, which is the State 180 race. I think that is going to pull a lot of people to our area because there's a large portion of voters in Glynn County as well,” explained Camden County Elections Supervisor Shannon Nettles.
When talking about the way they’re predicting how people will vote in Camden County, the elections office is anticipating a majority of voters coming to vote in person tomorrow, with less mail-in ballots coming in.
“We have about 200 ballots that are coming into this particular election this year and with about a hundred left that could possibly come in before Tuesday. But that number is kind of lower for Camden County then it has been in the past,” said Nettles.
Voters can cast ballots at their precinct location tomorrow from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
