Record 49 Million-Plus Americans Have Already Voted in Midterms
More than 49 million Americans had cast ballots in person or by mail before the final weekend of the U.S. midterm campaign, according to the University of Florida’s Election Lab, a record for a midterm election. That is up from nearly 46 million who voted before Election Day in 2022. All 435 House seats and 35 of 100 Senate seats are on the ballot on Tuesday, Nov. 3. Party-registration figures show who has voted, not how they voted; ballots are not counted until Election Day.
