Map Shows States With Highest Early Voting Totals as Democrats Dominate

More than 60.3 million early votes have been reported across the country.

As the midterm elections approach, early voting numbers have revealed a clear advantage for registered Democrats over Republicans. According to the University of Florida Election Lab, over 60.3 million early votes have been cast across the country, with 32.5 million in-person ballots and 27.8 million mailed ballots. In 12 of the 27 states with available data, Democrats make up 42.9 percent of early voters, compared to 31.4 percent for Republicans.

Texas, California, and Florida lead the way in early voting participation, while Wyoming, South Dakota, and Alaska have the lowest totals. Several key battleground states, such as Georgia, Michigan, North Carolina, and Ohio, also show substantial numbers. However, only 47 states and Washington D.C. permit early voting, with Alabama, Mississippi, and New Hampshire being the exceptions.
