The data hub was having operability issues as of 8 a.m., so further details on county and demographic turnout were not fully available.
According to the website, the more than 620,000 votes cast so far represents 8.6% of turnout for Georgia's more than 7.1 million registered active voters.
Of the votes cast, a little more than 35,000 are absentee ballots and more than 585,000 have been early in-person votes.
The early voting period runs Monday-Saturday in all counties between now and Nov. 1 (note that cutoff day -- Saturday, Nov. 2 is not an early voting day).
