Report: Nearly 97% of Eligible Voters Can Vote Before Election Day in 2024
Ahead of the 2024 election, Alabama, Delaware, Mississippi and New Hampshire are the only remaining states without an option.
The number of states offering early voting before election day increased from 24 in 2000 to 46 in 2024, according to our newest report “The Expansion of Voting Before Election Day, 2000-2024.”
Nearly 97% of eligible voters live in a state that provides an option to vote before Election Day without an excuse, up from 40% in 2000.
“The benefits of expanding options to vote before election day are clear, from bolstering election integrity and providing eligible voters more opportunity to cast a ballot,” said David Becker, Executive Director of CEIR. “Providing options to vote before election day minimizes the risk of technical problems on election day, and allows time to protect against misinformation and build voter confidence.”
