More than 2 million people have already cast their ballots to decide November races, marking a higher-than-normal turnout for early voting during a midterm election cycle and putting it on par with the record turnout recorded in 2018.
Exactly 2,030,730 people have already voted in more than a dozen states that have opened early voting options, according to data analyzed by the University of Florida's U.S. Elections Project. Of those, 1,842,155 people voted through mail-in ballots, while 188,615 cast their votes in person.
"It's clear that we are above the 2018 midterm at the same point in time in states where we have comparable data to look at," Michael McDonald, professor at the University of Florida, told ABC News. "We can see the sorts of indicators that would suggest that we're in for a high-turnout election, much like we had in 2018. And 2018 was the highest midterm turnout rate since 1914.”
