Record number of early voting
Due to lockdowns and public health concerns over the coronavirus, the 2020 presidential election saw a record number of early voting, both in-person and via mailed in ballots.
USA Today reported last week that approximately 101.2 million votes were cast early, the total being comprised of 36 million in-person votes and 65 million mailed in ballots.
This total represents more than twice the previous record on early voting of 47 million during the 2016 presidential election.
