Nearly 50 Million Americans Have Already Cast Ballots in 2024 Election – EVOL

One week before Nov. 5 Election Day, Republicans continue to turn out in higher numbers than in past cycles with early voting under way in 45 states.

Nearly 47.5 million Americans have already voted in the 2024 election with 24.24 million doing so in-person and more than 23.38 million casting ballots through the mail, according to 9 p.m. (EDT) Oct. 28 tabulations by the University of Florida Election Lab.

That’s nearly a third of the 158.4 million Americans who voted in the 2020 election.

With early voting kicking off over the weekend in Florida, New Jersey, New York, and Michigan—the first time the battleground state has offered in-person voting—Americans in 45 states can now vote in-person before Election Day on Nov. 5.

On Oct. 30, Oklahomans can cast ballots early for four days, and on Oct. 31, Kentucky’s three-day early in-person period begins.

As those states start early voting periods, Louisiana closes its on Oct. 29 while Maine, Tennessee, and Maryland shut it down on Oct. 31. Three states—Alabama, Mississippi, and New Hampshire—do not offer in-person early voting.

As has been the trend since the first ballots were cast in late September, Republicans are showing up in greater numbers to vote in person
