Early voting means ‘election season’ has already kicked off

Election Day is on Tuesday, Nov. 5, but many Americans will have already voted due to early voting. Early voting starts as early as Sept. 6 in some states, with seven battleground states sending out ballots in September. In 2020, 71% of voters cast their ballots before Election Day. Early voting is safe and secure, with different options like early in-person voting or voting by mail. States have different processes for early voting, and deadlines vary. It’s important to check your state’s elections website for up-to-date information on eligibility, processes, and deadlines.
