Early Voting Tops 50.5 Million, Democrats Lead in Key States

Early Voting Tops 50.5 Million, Democrats Lead in Key States

The Guardian reported that on 31 October, more than 50. 5 million Americans had cast early votes in the United States for the 2026 midterm elections, a record that exceeds the 2022 turnout and places Democrats ahead of Republicans in states that track party affiliation.

Earlier counts showed the surge climbing from about 28 million early ballots in early October (Newsweek) to 41 million (WESH) and 43 million (BBC) later in the month, with Texas leading the tally. An MIT political scientist cited by NPR warned that the early-vote boom may not translate into higher overall turnout, while ABC News analysis indicated Democratic advantages in battleground states such as Georgia and Iowa.

More than 28 million Americans had voted early in the 2026 midterms by October 26, 2026, is partially confirmed. The claim that Texas, Georgia, Tennessee, and North Carolina had some of the highest early-voting turnout by October 29, 2026, has not enough evidence. The statement by MIT political scientist Charles Stewart that the rise in early ballots does not necessarily indicate a boost in total voter participation in the midterm elections also has not enough evidence. It is partially confirmed that Democrats have a larger share of early ballots cast so far in most states, including notable leads in Georgia and Iowa.
