The early voting numbers in Kentucky have been huge.

Kentucky Secretary of State Michael Adams said that 656,277 people cast no-excuse early votes across the state over three days. Friday voters set a record as 229,944 voters took to the polls. That number bested Thursday's total of 225,696. Another 200,637 went to polling places on Saturday. 

According to the numbers, almost 53 percent of those who voted are registered as Republicans, while just over 40 percent were registered Democrats. The remaining seven percent were registered as an Independent/Other. 

While McCracken County saw 17 percent of registered voters go to the polls during the early voting, Anderson County, in Central Kentucky, had a 41 percent turnout, and Bullitt County, just south of the Louisville Metro area saw 34 percent vote early.

Adams' office said that when adding in those who voted through the excused in-person absentee days and the other absentee ballots received, a total of 792,476 Kentuckians have already cast a ballot.   

The polls are open Tuesday, Election Day from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. A reminder, if you are in line at 6 p.m., you still get to vote.
