Georgia now has one of the highest voter registration rates in the nation

Georgia now has one of the highest voter registration rates in the nation, with 95% of citizens over 18 years old signed up to vote, according to federal election data released this week.

The number of Georgia voters has jumped since 2016, when the state started automatically registering voters when they obtain driver’s licenses.

There were nearly 7.2 million active registrations in Georgia as of November’s election, leaving just 387,000 unregistered people in the citizen voting age population, according to the U.S. Election Assistance Commission’s biennial report published Monday.
