Early Voters in Gwinnett County Lined Up in Large Numbers

The number of early voters surpasses 2008 numbers by tens of thousands.

Despite extremely long wait times on Saturday for early voters -- up to 8 hours at the Centerville Community Center -- more voters have been able to cast their ballot early than in the last presidential election. Joe Sorenson, Gwinnett County's Communication Director, said that a total of 50,054 Gwinnett voters cast their ballots early during the 2008 election. As of yesterday, 76,955 have already voted, and that doesn't include those who voted by mail.

Gwinnett County voters have until Nov. 2 to take advantage of the early voting period at the Elections Office in Lawrenceville and four satellite polling locations.

How Long Will it Take You to Vote?

Several news outlets have reported wait times of up to eight hours at some early voting locations. But for me, my wait was far less.

This is the last week of early voting ahead of next Tuesday's election. Last week there were reports from various news outlets of people waiting in line for up to eight hours. One Lawrenceville Patch reader even lamented about his wait time at a satellite location in Suwanee this past weekend. "You guys in Gwinnett County did a terrible job with early voting at George Pierce Park on Saturday," said reader Ed Clark in a comment on a story on our site. "My family and I waited for 6.5 hours. This is a fine demonstration of the incompetence of the people running this process. I don't blame the volunteers. The bureaucrats are the responsible parties.
