Early voting jumps across Senate battlegrounds as millions more Americans vote ahead of Election Day
More than 52.7 million ballots have been cast early nationwide, with Democrats holding a slight registration edge in available state data, the University of Florida said.
- According to the University of Florida's Election Lab, 47.9 million Americans had cast early ballots by Friday, October 30, setting a record for the November 3 midterm elections and surpassing the 45.9 million recorded in 2022.
- High voter engagement in competitive battleground states like Texas and Georgia is driving this surge, as early voting access has become an established feature enabling participation for those with work or personal commitments.
- Registered Democrats account for around 44% of early voters compared with 31% for Republicans, the Election Lab data showed, while strong turnout among Black and Hispanic voters has bolstered these record-breaking figures.
- Early participation could prove decisive in closely contested races, potentially shifting control of Congress; Democrats have indicated plans to launch investigations into President Donald Trump's administration if they win one or both chambers.
- The Justice Department pursues lawsuits in Alaska and California regarding ballot eligibility, though election experts caution that millions more voters are expected to cast ballots on Election Day, November 3.

Nearly 36% of North Carolina voters—roughly 2.8 million people—cast a ballot before early voting ended Saturday, a state record driven largely by unaffiliated voters and Democrats. That figure includes mail-in ballots.
The mid-term elections on Tuesday are mobilising the Americans. The Republican party's record and Donald Trump's inability to slow inflation are pointed at, and feed the hopes of the democrats to tip the two chambers of Congress.
