2026 midterms: How many early votes have been cast so far?
Key Points:
- Early voting for the 2026 midterm elections has begun in multiple states, with millions of ballots already cast.
- The Get the Facts Data Team is monitoring early and mail-in voting data ahead of Election Day on November 3.
- Data is sourced from the University of Florida Election Lab, which has tracked early voting since 2008 and compiles counts directly from state and regional authorities.
- A map is available to view the number of early votes cast by state, including mail-in ballots, but it does not include election results.
- In 31 states plus Washington, D.C., voters can register with a party affiliation, and this data is included when available; however, not all states have started early voting yet.
