Nearly 3,800 Carroll County voters cast early ballots during the first week of advance voting for the Nov. 6 general election.

“We had 842 voting today,” Carrol County Elections Supervisor Becky Deese said after the polls closed at 4:30 p.m. Friday. “That brought our total for the week to 3,789. It was a very good day today, with a steady stream of people coming through all day. Even with the long lines, the average voter got through the process in 10 to 15 minutes.”

Deese said early morning and mid-afternoon seem to be the slowest times. Lunch time is very busy, she said.

Polls will again be open for advance voting this week, from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., on weekdays only at the Carroll County Elections Office, 423 College St. in Carrollton. A Saturday voting session will be held Oct. 27 when polls will be open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

During the final week of advance voting, Oct. 29 to Nov. 2, the elections office will be open from 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Also, during that final week, a second advance voting site will be open at Powell Park Arts Center, 423 Leslie Drive, Villa Rica, from 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m.
