According to the Associated Press approximately 30 million people have already voted across 34 states and the District of Columbia. Early voting has been conducted by mail or in person.

No early votes will be officially counted until Election Day on Tuesday, however, some swing states are releasing information on which party affiliation early voters have held.

Here are the figures that have been released by the Associated Press on Monday:

Colorado
Votes: 1.6 million
Democrats: 35 percent
Republicans: 37 percent

Democrats: 43 percent
Republicans: 40 percent

In addition to the presidential election there are also 33 Senate seats on the ballot on Tuesday. It is predicted by numerous analysts that Democrats will hold their majority.

However, the situation was reversed in the House, where Democrats have been less vocal about their chances of gaining the 25 seats needed to gain control of the House.

Following months of fierce campaigning there are now just hours to go in the election, and national opinion polls in the presidential race have suggested the popular vote is a virtual tie.
