Election Day may be a few weeks away, but in several states, including key battlegrounds, voters are casting their ballot before then through early voting.
As of Oct. 17, over 8.8 million people have cast their ballot early, according to data from the University of Florida's Election Lab.
Election data has shown that the number of voters who choose to cast their ballot early has steadily risen and for the first time surpassed Election Day voting during the 2020 election.
Some states allow voters who are casting an absentee ballot to drop off their paper ballot to an approved location or election office in person prior to Nov. 5.

My "no-excuse absentee" ballot is in and the state status shows that Philly has it.

Ballot Trax informed me that my ballot was received and counted yesterday!
However the mailed ballots don't get counted early. It's a big help for senior citizens, the handicapped, and working folks who couldn't get to the polls on Election Day.
