By comparison, 4,618 — or 13.4% of registered voters — participated in early voting during the 2018 general election.
For the remainder of Carter County’s 34,461 registered voters who want to cast a ballot in the county general elections and statewide office primaries, polls will open at 8 a.m. Thursday and close at 8 p.m.
