Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger announced Wednesday that his office has upgraded the state’s Election Data Hub.

The office says the hub now includes a new feature in the Voter Turnout Interactive Map that enables people to filter voting participation by party affiliation.

Nearly 80,000 people have early voted as of Wednesday morning. Some 54.9% of those voters chose a Democratic ballot, while 43.5% drew a Republican ballot. About 1.6% of early voters chose a non-partisan ballot.
