2026 midterm election: Which states allow mail-in voting?
Nearly one in three voters cast ballots by mail in 2024, according to the U.S. Election Assistance Commission.
- On Saturday, President Donald Trump encouraged voters to "vote early, vote by mail or vote in person on Election Day" in a video posted on Truth Social.
- Since 2000, the availability of mail-in and early voting in states has increased significantly; eight states and the District of Columbia now offer universal mail-in voting for their elections.
- In mid-September, the Supreme Court blocked the Postal Service from enacting new mail-in voting restrictions, though the high court did not rule on the legality of the executive order.
- Mississippi remains the only state requiring voters to provide a reason for mail ballots without offering early in-person voting, a contrast to 2000 when only 21 states allowed no-excuse voting.
- Trump also promoted the Republican Party website, Swamp the Vote USA, which offers guidance on voters' voting options as midterm turnout historically fluctuates compared to presidential election years.
