Former President Jimmy Carter, who recently celebrated his 100th birthday, has marked another milestone by casting his vote by mail. The Carter Center confirmed this news, although they did not disclose who he voted for. Carter’s grandson, former Georgia state Sen. Jason Carter, revealed in a previous interview that the former president was excited to vote for Vice President Kamala Harris.
This comes as Georgia saw a record-breaking turnout for early absentee voting, with over 328,000 total votes cast so far. Carter, who served as the 39th president from 1976 to 1980, turned 100 on October 1, becoming the first American president to reach this milestone. Previously, George H.W. Bush held the title as the oldest living former president, passing away at the age of 94 years and 141 days.
Carter has remained active in charitable work following his presidency, founding the Carter Presidential Center to address conflicts and promote human rights. His legacy has continued to inspire many, as he remains an influential figure in American politics and humanitarian efforts. Despite his age, Carter continues to engage in civic duties such as casting his vote, showing his dedication to democracy and civic engagement.
