It should be noted that the number of voters who decided to vote early is constantly growing and for the first time exceeded the number of voters on Election Day 2020.
In some states, absentee voters can bring their ballot in person to an approved location or elections office before November 5.
Other states and the District of Columbia will have open polling places in the weeks leading up to Election Day, where people can cast their ballots using voting machines.
Political scientists say early voting helps reduce lines on Election Day and gives voters more options.
