Albany, GA, October 16, 2026 —
More than 1,000 Dougherty County residents cast ballots on each of the first two days of early voting for the Nov. 3 election, with voting taking place at the Albany Civic Center, according to the information provided.
The reported turnout was described as steady during the first week of early voting. The summary does not provide exact daily totals, so the number of ballots cast on either day cannot be specified beyond the report that each day exceeded 1,000.
The information also does not identify the year of the Nov. 3 election, the candidates or issues on the ballot, or the total number of registered voters in the county. It does not give the dates covered by the first week, the early-voting schedule, or turnout figures for any other location. No official source for the figures was named.
The reported figures establish that each of the initial two days drew more than 1,000 voters at the Albany Civic Center. They do not, on their own, provide a countywide turnout total for the full first week or allow comparisons with earlier elections. No additional turnout numbers or details about voting arrangements were included in the summary.
