Elections officials said they were busy most of the afternoon as 619 voters cast ballots.
The total for the week was 2,494 ballots cast, equal to 5 percent of the estimated 46,025 registered voters in the county.
Things started busy on Monday when 488 people showed up to cast their ballot at the County Administration Building, 12 E. Fourth Ave.
County Elections Supervisor Evon Billups said earlier this week that presidential elections normally bring more people to the polls.
Voters in Floyd County will also decide the 14th Congressional District seat, two County Commission posts, a county school board post, the sheriff slot, the clerk of court office and the 12th State House District seat.
Early voting will continue through Nov. 2 on the second floor of the County Administration Building from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. during the week and from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 27.
A second universal polling precinct will open from Oct. 29 to Nov. 2 in the Rome Civic Center on Jackson Hill.
