Jason Carter, the former president's grandson, told ABC News earlier this week that the former president planned on voting for Vice President Kamala Harris in the "next couple of days."

"It's going to be the next couple days; the absentee ballots have gone out," Jason Carter said.

Carter recently celebrated his 100th birthday. As he neared the milestone, his family said he was trying to live until he could vote for Harris.

Carter entered hospice care 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.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution was the first to report the news of Carter's vote.
