Greensboro High Point Winston Salem, NC, October 26, 2026 —
Nearly 60,000 ballots have been cast in Forsyth County, as early voting continues at a pace described as outpacing previous elections.
The available information does not specify when the ballot total was recorded or identify which elections were used for comparison. It also does not provide a breakdown by day, voting method, or voter category, so the scale and pattern of participation cannot be assessed in greater detail from the figures provided.
No election date, county population figure, or source for the ballot count was included in the information available. The specific margin by which early voting is ahead of previous elections was also not provided. As a result, the nearly 60,000 total is the only numerical detail available, and no further comparison can be made here.
The reported figure points to substantial early-voting activity in the county, but it does not establish how many ballots will ultimately be cast or explain what is driving the pace. No information was provided about election officials’ expectations, the status of ballot counting, or what may happen next.
Further details about the reporting period and the elections used as a benchmark would be needed to put the comparison in context. For now, the available summary indicates that nearly 60,000 ballots have been cast in Forsyth County and that early voting is outpacing previous elections.
