Former President Jimmy Carter has voted in the 2024 election, the Carter Center has confirmed.
Carter, the oldest living president, voted by mail on Wednesday, according to a statement from the Carter Center.
Jason Carter, the organization’s president and the former president’s grandson, said in a text message Wednesday that his grandfather’s vote was placed in a box at the Sumter County Courthouse on the Georgia battleground.

Jason Carter told ABC News this week that the former president planned to vote for Vice President Kamala Harris “in the next few days.”
“It’s going to be in the next two days; the absentee ballots are out,” Jason Carter said.
Carter recently turned 100 years old. As she neared the milestone, her family said she was trying to live until Harris was voted out.
Carter entered the hospital in early 2023 amid health challenges. Last year, he made a rare public appearance when he attended a memorial service for his late wife Rosalynn Carter.
Atlanta Journal-Constitution was the first to report Carter’s vote.
