Gwinnett County voters cast 228,397 ballots in person during three weeks of early voting that ended Friday. That is 37.28% of the county’s 612,682 active voters, according to the county elections office’s unofficial advance voting report of Saturday, Oct. 31.
Updated Nov. 4: the school tax question passed. Gwinnett voted 75.5% yes to widen the extra $2,000 school homestead exemption to disabled veterans and all school district employees, in unofficial results with all 156 precincts reporting. Read our election results story.
The busiest of the county’s 13 early voting sites was in Lawrenceville. The Voter Registrations and Elections office at 455 Grayson Highway took 29,402 ballots, about 6,000 more than any other site.
The last day was the biggest. Friday brought 25,171 voters, more than any of the 17 days before it.
There is no in-person voting Monday. Polls open 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 3, at each voter’s assigned precinct, the county said Friday.
The four Lawrenceville sites
Voters cast 70,234 ballots at the four early voting sites with Lawrenceville addresses, about 31% of the county total. The county’s report gives these totals for Oct. 13-30:
| Site | Ballots cast |
|---|---|
| Voter Registrations and Elections, 455 Grayson Highway | 29,402 |
| Five Forks Branch Library | 17,869 |
| Collins Hill Branch Library | 14,228 |
| Rhodes Jordan Park Community Recreation Center | 8,735 |
A voter could use any site, so these are not counts of Lawrenceville residents.
The other nine sites, as the county lists them:
- George Pierce Park: 23,461
- Bogan Park Community Resource Center: 21,726
- Lenora Park Gym: 21,704
- Shorty Howell Park: 21,409

- Lucky Shoals Park: 10,266
- Gwinnett Fire Station 30: 7,662
Mail ballots
The county had accepted 8,539 absentee ballots by mail as of Saturday’s absentee report. It had issued 13,347.
Together with the early in-person votes, that is 236,936 ballots, about 38.7% of active voters. Both reports say the totals are unofficial and incomplete.
Mail ballots must reach the elections office by 7 p.m. Tuesday. You can mail yours or hand-deliver it to 455 Grayson Highway, Suite 200. The office is open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday to take ballots, the county said.
A school tax question for some homeowners
Lawrenceville voters will also see one question on the special election part of the ballot. It asks whether to widen an existing extra $2,000 homestead exemption from Gwinnett County School District taxes.
The exemption now covers “certain public service employees.” A yes vote would extend it to:
- disabled veterans
- all employees of Gwinnett County Public Schools
- all employees of Buford City Schools
The question comes from a state law, HB 540, signed May 13, 2025. If more than half the votes are yes, the change takes effect Jan. 1, 2027, according to the county’s call for the special election. Only voters in the Gwinnett County School District decide it, which includes all of Lawrenceville. It passed with 254,543 votes to 82,467 in unofficial results.
The rest of the ballot runs from U.S. Senate down. The county’s consolidated sample ballot shows every race in the county. Your own sample ballot is on the state’s My Voter Page.
