Over 78 million voters have participated in early voting for the US presidential elections across 47 states and Washington D.C., showing a notable drop compared to 2020. While the overall early turnout is lower, some key states, including North Carolina and Georgia, have seen record numbers of in-person early voters. Republicans have gained a larger share of early votes, with registered Republicans slightly outpacing Democrats in several pivotal states. Notably, women still dominate early voting demographics, constituting 56% of ballots cast in several key states, reflecting consistent trends from previous elections.
