Former President Jimmy Carter casts his vote in the upcoming election

ATLANTA, Ga. (WANF/Gray News) – Two weeks after his milestone 100th birthday, former President Jimmy Carter cast his vote in the November election.

The Carter Center said the Plains, Georgia, native voted by mail on Wednesday.

The former president’s grandson, Jason Carter, said in September that the former president, who has been in hospice care since February 2023, was looking forward to voting for Vice President Kamala Harris.

“He was excited to turn 100, but he’s even more excited to cast his vote for Vice President Harris,” Jason Carter said. “I think he’s ready to flip Donald Trump, as are many, many of us. And I also think he believes in this historic moment.”

With his 100th birthday on October 1, Carter officially became the longest-living former president.
