Data doesn't include today's figures; no early voting Monday

As of the end of business Thursday, more than half of Fayette County’s eligible voters have done their civic duty, elections officials reported.

The actual percentage was 53.7 percent, as 37,845 voters through Thursday have continued to take advantage of early voting. This week voters could choose from three precincts: one in Peachtree City, Tyrone and Fayetteville.

But there will be no early voting Monday, as mandated per state law. That break is designed to give elections officials a chance to prepare for the traditional election day in which all of Fayette’s 36 precincts will be up and running.
Polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday at all precincts.

Through Thursday afternoon, several precincts have led the way in early voters, said Elections Office Brenda Jones.

The Europe precinct in north Fayette County has already voted 1,509 of its 2,500 voters and the Spring Hill precinct in south Fayetteville has voted 1,622 of its 2,800 voters, Jones said.

In Tyrone, the Sandy Creek precinct has seen 1,604 of its 3,400 voters cast ballots already, Jones said.

Elections officials are expected to work through the weekend in preparation for election day Tuesday.
