Former President Jimmy Carter fulfilled his wish of voting for Vice President Harris in the 2024 presidential election, just more than two weeks after his 100th birthday.

The Carter Center confirmed Wednesday that Carter voted by mail on Oct. 16.

Carter, the longest-living former president, declared in August that he hoped to cast a ballot for Harris, the day after she officially became the Democratic Party’s nominee.

“I’m only trying to make it to vote for Kamala Harris,” Carter told his son Chip in August.

Carter entered hospice care in February 2023 and has outlived his wife, Rosalynn Carter, who died last November.

The former president’s son Chip asked his father if he was trying to make it to his 100th birthday on Oct. 1. Carter said it was less about making it to the century mark, and more about casting his ballot for Harris's historic candidacy.

Jason Carter, the former president’s grandson, said last month Carter continued to follow politics and world events, and was anxious to "turn the page" on the Trump era.

Early voting in Georgia started Monday, Oct. 15. Carter was one of 66 people over the age of 100 in Georgia who already cast their ballot as of Wednesday morning.

Overall, more than 300,000 ballots were cast in Georgia on the state’s first day of early voting, smashing records in the Peach State.

The former president was honored earlier this month by other former presidents and his family for his lifelong career of public service.

The Hill has reached out to the Harris and Trump campaigns for comment.
