Record Early Voting in US Midterms as Democrats Lead in Key States

Analysed 31 Oct 2026·7 sources analysed·California, United States·Politics
Record Early Voting in US Midterms as Democrats Lead in Key StatesPreviousNext

Nearly 50 million Americans have cast early ballots in the 2024 US midterm elections, setting a new record and surpassing the 2022 early voting total. Early voting surged notably in key battleground states like Texas, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Kansas, where competitive Senate races could influence control of Congress. Registered Democrats accounted for a larger share of early votes than Republicans, with unaffiliated and minor-party voters making up the remainder. Experts caution that early voting patterns may not predict final outcomes.
