WTAE • • nation
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, sourced from the University of Florida Election Lab, which has tracked early voting since 2008.
- Early voting figures are compiled directly from state and regional sources and include both mail-in and in-person early votes, but do not reflect election results.
- In 31 states plus Washington, D.C., voter party affiliation is recorded when available, providing additional data on early voters.
- Not all states have started early voting yet, as some do not permit it or have not opened early voting periods.
