Former US President Jimmy Carter.

Jimmy Carter voted in the US presidential election on Wednesday, 15 days after turning 100 years old. Through this voting, a wish of the former US President Carter was also fulfilled.

Carter had previously announced that he wanted to live long enough to support Democratic Party candidate Kamala Harris in the US presidential election.

According to the Carter Center, the former Democratic leader cast his vote by mail.

Carter left the White House in 1981. He then founded the Carter Center, a non-profit organization to promote his views on global diplomacy.

Carter left the White House as an unpopular leader. Later, however, his popularity increased.

Carter’s home state is Georgia. He has taken advantage of early voting in this state.

Earlier this year, Carter told his family he wanted to live long enough to vote orange, to help defeat his Republican opponent, Donald Trump, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution newspaper. This is more important to him than being a centenarian.

In the end, Carter hit both milestones.

Early voting began last Tuesday in Georgia. More than 420,000 people have already voted in advance in the state. Georgia election official Gabriel Sterling said this information.

The presidential election will be held in the United States on November 5.

Carter was a one-term US president. He has been in hospice care in his hometown of Plains, Georgia since February of last year.

Carter is the first former US president to reach the centennial milestone.
