Early voting has begun. Here's what you should see.

% Democrats

% Republican

No party/other

Notes: Data comes from states that require ballots to be requested and party registration data is reported. Ballot requests are not the same as actual votes.

In the coming weeks, we will also track the number of requested ballots returned to election officials, as well as the percentage of ballots accepted – or rejected – in key states.

Some states passed laws after the 2020 election that make it harder for voters to cast their ballots early in this election. In Georgia, a critical swing state, the Republican legislature and governor passed a sweeping law that shortened the time to request mail-in ballots, imposed strict new ID requirements for those ballots, and significantly limited the availability of drop boxes for mail-in ballots.

North Carolina, also considered a loser in this election, imposed similar restrictions and sent mail-in ballots to voters two weeks later this year after a last-minute court ordered the removal of Robert F. Kennedy's name from the ballots.

This page will be updated regularly with the latest early voting data in each state. Figures may change as new sources of information become available.
