Early, in-person voting is now underway in Georgia and many other states across the country.
Because of the pandemic, state and local officials are urging more Georgians to consider voting by mail.
The vote-by-mail system is still a relatively new concept for many Georgia voters, poll workers and elected officials.
So far, 675,000 Georgians have returned their absentee ballots. That’s only about 40% of the ballots requested.
However, in other states, this system is nothing new.
