ALBANY, GA (WALB) –    When it started three weeks ago, voters showed up at a steady pace, but that's now leveled off.   Mondays and Tuesdays are the busiest days, but only 320 total voters have cast early ballots in the July 20th primary.

Elections Supervisor Ginger Nickerson says more people should stop by her office now. "Because it is an option to voting on election day.  You have Monday through Friday, we're here 8:30 to 5:00.  You can come in, there's no waiting, complete your application and cast your ballot and be done and be ready for election day results."

If you're not sure what offices are on your ballot, you can visit the elections office to take a look at a sample ballot.  If you don't make it in early, you can fight the crowds on election day, July 20th.
