North Carolina Early Voting: Smashing 2020 Records!

North Carolina's Early Voting Surges Past 2020 Totals!

Get this: Early in-person voting in North Carolina is already HUGE, exceeding the total from the 2020 election! early voting ends Saturday, October 26th, but by Friday afternoon, nearly 3.8 million people had already cast ballots! That's way past the 3.63 million record set in 2020.

Add in absentee, military, and overseas ballots and the number jumps to almost 4.01 million— more than 51% of registered voters (7.83 million total)! In 2020, voter turnout hit 75.2%, and these numbers already make this a record breaking election!

Early in-person voting has gotten increasingly popular in North Carolina in recent election cycles, which really isn't surprising. People can register AND vote at early sites; creating even higher overall participation; so even new voters can cast ballots.

Political Factors and Natural Disasters Fuel Early Turnout

This early voting surge is partially because Republicans have really pushed early voting— a major shift from 2020 when Donald Trump (without any evidence) claimed mail-in voting was fraudulent. It makes sense that many people remember those words; showing that public narratives directly influence and affect how the public responds to specific calls to action. This has major and significant consequences when these elements are studied in greater depth.

Even with more registered Democrats (109,000 more than Republicans), more Republicans had already voted by Thursday! And get this: early voting remains extremely strong in western counties hit hard by Hurricane Helene’s flooding in late September! Most early-voting sites are open.
