As the 2024 US presidential election approaches, early voting has reached 83.1 million ballots cast, marking this election as the second highest for early votes following 2020. Both Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris and Republican former President Donald Trump are closely watching these numbers, with a notable increase in early voting participation among Republicans. This election highlights heightened engagement tactics, as Trump shifts towards encouraging early voting while historically opposing mail-in ballots. With varying early voting rates across states, particularly swing states, the final results may be delayed in case of close margins due to slower mail-in ballot counting.
