Early ballots: the registered D–R gap among all ballots in before Election Day († the last count kept, a few days before). Result: the D–R margin in the state’s top federal race (Senate in 2022, the House statewide where there was none; President in 2024). Registration is not a vote, and the result also counts Election Day ballots. Results: Federal Election Commission, Federal Elections 2022; Federal Election Commission, Official 2024 Presidential General Election Results.

How North Carolina is counted and compared
Mail ballots went out 18 days later in 2024 (42 days before that election, against 60 this year), so 2024 had had less time by this point.
- 2022 is read on the same day of voting as this year. Voting opened 60 days before the election in 2022 (September 9) and 60 days before it this year (September 4), so each year is read on the same day of its own voting.
- 2024 is read at the same number of days before the election. In 2024 mail ballots went out 18 days later than this year after a court-ordered reprint, while in-person early voting opened 19 days before the election in both years; lining up the first day of voting would read this year's mail-only count against 2024 two days before its election.
- Counts ballots the board has accepted, including those accepted after a cure or with a photo-ID exception form; ballots awaiting a cure or review are not yet included.
- A ballot is dated by the return date the county keyed, which can be entered some days late. In three archived copies of this file, 2.5% to 5.4% of the accepted mail ballots through the latest complete day were added later; none of the three is from mid-October of a midterm year, so the range is a guide, not a bound.
- Since the 2023 municipal elections a mailed ballot needs a copy of photo ID or an exception form; in 2022 it did not.
- Mail ballots went out September 4, 2026, 60 days before the election.
- 2 ballots dated after the file's own date (a keying error in the file) are left out.
- 2024: Rebuilt from the board's final file. A ballot is dated by the return date the county keyed, which can be entered some days late.
- 2024: Mail ballots went out late in 2024: September 20 to military and overseas voters and September 24 to everyone else (42 days before the election, not the usual 60), after a court ordered ballots reprinted.
- 2024: Since the 2023 municipal elections a mailed ballot needs a copy of photo ID or an exception form; in 2022 it did not.
- 2024: From 2024 a mailed ballot must arrive by 7:30 p.m. on Election Day (no three-day grace period).
- 2024: Hurricane Helene disrupted voting in western counties in 2024.
- 2024: 2 accepted ballots with an impossible return date (a keying error in the file) are left out.
- 2022: Rebuilt from the board's final file. A ballot is dated by the return date the county keyed, which can be entered some days late.
- 2022: Mail ballots went out September 9, 2022, 60 days before the election.
- 2022: In 2022 a mailed ballot needed no photo ID, and counted if postmarked by Election Day and received within three days.

How Pennsylvania is counted and compared
Compared in 61 of 67 counties, with 98% of this year’s ballots. Counties start logging returns on different days each year: Lebanon and Westmoreland have 6,130 and 1,286 ballots now and had 372 and 18,500 at this point in 2022. A county is compared once it had logged 5% of its final mail vote by this point in 2022 and 2024, and has logged as much this year. The totals are statewide; the changes, the gap and the chart are for these counties.
Pennsylvania is 2% behind 2022 at this point in the counties compared. A ballot here is dated by the day the county logged it, so earlier days do not fill in later.
- 2022 is read on the same day of voting as this year. Voting opened 50 days before the election in 2022 (September 19) and 50 days before it this year (September 14), so each year is read on the same day of its own voting.
- 2024 is read on the same day of voting as this year. Voting opened 50 days before the election in 2024 (September 16) and 50 days before it this year (September 14), so each year is read on the same day of its own voting.
- Mail and absentee ballots only: Pennsylvania has no in-person early voting; ballots marked at a county office in one visit count as mail.
- Counts ballots recorded as votes; returned ballots pending a cure or cancelled are not counted.
- A ballot is dated when the county logged it as returned, not when the voter sent it. Counties log in batches (Philadelphia especially), so daily counts are lumpy and the latest day is usually partial.
- Because the date is the logging date, earlier days do not fill in later: a copy of the 2022 file archived the day before that election held 1% more ballots for earlier dates than the final file, not fewer.
- Counties begin logging on different days each year, so the comparison with 2022 and 2024 is made county by county, in the counties under way in every year compared.
- 2024: Mail and absentee ballots only: Pennsylvania has no in-person early voting.
- 2024: Counts ballots recorded as votes; returned ballots pending a cure or cancelled are not counted.
- 2024: A ballot is dated when the county logged it as returned, not when the voter sent it. Counties log in batches (Philadelphia especially), so daily counts are lumpy.
- 2024: 1,568 ballots with an impossible return date are left out.
- 2022: Mail and absentee ballots only: Pennsylvania has no in-person early voting.
- 2022: Counts every ballot with a returned date. The 2022 file has no status column, so ballots a county later set aside (missing signature, date or secrecy envelope) are included; 2024 and 2026 count only ballots recorded as votes.
- 2022: A ballot is dated when the county logged it as returned, not when the voter sent it. Counties log in batches (Philadelphia especially), so daily counts are lumpy.
- 2022: Party is the applicant's designation: D and R, with every other entry as U.

How Maine is counted and compared
- 2022 is read after the same number of working days. In 2022 clerks' offices opened for in-person voting on a Tuesday, after a Sunday and a holiday; this year they opened on a Monday.
- 2024 is read on the same day of voting as this year. Voting opened 29 days before the election in 2024 (October 7) and 29 days before it this year (October 5), so each year is read on the same day of its own voting.
- Counts ballots received and accepted by clerks; rejected ballots and ballots awaiting a cure are not included.
- In person means absentee ballots voted in the clerk's presence before Election Day.
- Clerks enter ballots as they arrive; the latest day is usually partial.
- Since December 31, 2025 any voter may ask to be sent an absentee ballot for every election (ongoing absentee status, open only to voters 65 and over or with a disability in 2024 and to no one in 2022). The 2026 file marks those requests; the 2022 and 2024 files mark none.
- Whether clerks enter some ballots under an earlier date after the fact has not been measured: no earlier copy of this file survives to compare.
- 2024: Rebuilt from the state's final absentee file; a ballot is dated by when the clerk received it.
- 2024: In person means absentee ballots voted in the clerk's presence before Election Day.
- 2024: 2 ballots with an impossible return date are left out.
- 2022: Rebuilt from the state's final absentee file; a ballot is dated by when the clerk received it.
- 2022: In person means absentee ballots voted in the clerk's presence before Election Day.
- 2022: 2 ballots with an impossible return date are left out.

How Nevada is counted and compared
- 2022 is read at the same number of days before the election. No statewide first day of voting is on record for 2022 or this year, so the years are read at the same number of days before the election.
- 2024 is read at the same number of days before the election. No statewide first day of voting is on record for 2024 or this year, so the years are read at the same number of days before the election.
- Clark County only, about 70% of Nevada's active voters; the rest of Nevada is not included.
- Counts Clark County mail ballots returned (received, not flagged undeliverable or missing a signature) plus in-person early votes, each voter once.
- In-person early voting runs 2026-10-17 to 10-30; mail ballots go to every active voter. Mail party is the mail file's own field; in-person party is the voter's registration on Clark County's weekly voter list, so voters who registered after the list was produced (same-day registration) are counted in party_unknown until the next list.
- Age comes from birth year on Clark County's current voter list (age at the end of the election year); district is the voter's congressional district (Clark County's part of NV-01, NV-03 and NV-04). Gender is left out: the list records sex for under a fifth of voters.
- Rows after Election Day are mail ballots postmarked by Election Day that arrived later.
- Source stamps: early-vote file 2026-10-20T05:01:09Z; mail file 2026-10-20T06:30:11Z; voter list 2026-10-19T07:23:56Z. as_of is the older of the two ballot files.
- 3,558 ballots dated after the file's own date are left out until a later file reaches that day.
- Not counted: 37856 envelopes returned undeliverable and 204 returned without the required signature.
- 8 counted voters are not on the current voter list, so their age (and, for in-person voters, party) is unknown.
- party_mail gives the party split of MAIL ballots only (a mail ballot with no recorded party is counted in party_mail_unknown), for comparison with other years; it excludes in-person votes.
- 2024: Clark County only, about 70% of Nevada's active voters; the rest of Nevada is not included.
- 2024: Counts Clark County mail ballots returned (received, not flagged undeliverable or missing a signature) plus in-person early votes, each voter once.
- 2024: Rebuilt from Clark County's final 2024 files; mail ballots are dated by when the county received them, in-person votes by the day cast. In-person early voting ran 2024-10-19 to 11-01; mail ballots went out on 2024-10-10.
- 2024: The receive date is when the county logged the envelope, in batches: almost no returns are dated before 2024-10-19, then 80,000 on that day.
- 2024: Mail party is registration at the time (the mail file's own field). The 2024 early-vote file carries no party, so in-person party is each voter's registration on Clark County's CURRENT voter list, not in 2024; voters who have since left the list are counted in party_unknown.
- 2024: Age comes from birth year on Clark County's current voter list (age at the end of the election year); district is the voter's congressional district (Clark County's part of NV-01, NV-03 and NV-04). Gender is left out: the list records sex for under a fifth of voters.

- 2022: The receive date is when the county logged the envelope, in batches: few returns are dated before early voting began, then tens of thousands at once.
- 2022: Party is registration at the time: the mail file's own field, and the 2022 early-vote file's DEM/REP/NP code (NP = nonpartisan and all other parties).
- 2022: Age comes from birth year on Clark County's current voter list (age at the end of the election year); district is the voter's congressional district (Clark County's part of NV-01, NV-03 and NV-04). Gender is left out: the list records sex for under a fifth of voters.

How Iowa is counted and compared
- 2022 is read on the same day of voting as this year. Voting opened 20 days before the election in 2022 (October 19) and 20 days before it this year (October 14), so each year is read on the same day of its own voting.

How Florida is counted and compared
Florida is 21% behind 2022 at this point.
- 2022 is read on the same day of voting as this year. Voting opened 40 days before the election in 2022 (September 29) and 40 days before it this year (September 24), so each year is read on the same day of its own voting.
- 2024 is read on the same day of voting as this year. Voting opened 40 days before the election in 2024 (September 26) and 40 days before it this year (September 24), so each year is read on the same day of its own voting.
- Counts mail ballots returned ('Voted Vote-by-Mail') plus early in-person ballots ('Voted Early'); ballots provided but not yet returned are not counted.
- Party is registered party: Other and No Party Affiliation are grouped as U.
- Florida publishes county and party only; it releases no age, gender or race for early voters.
- Each snapshot is the Division's compiled page; county reports are cumulative through the prior day, so a snapshot is dated the day before it was compiled.
- Florida's 2021 law (SB 90) made standing vote-by-mail requests lapse after each regularly scheduled general election; all requests carried over from 2020 lapsed after the 2022 general. 2022 mail volume is therefore not comparable with 2024 and 2026.
- 2024: Counts mail ballots returned ('Voted Vote-by-Mail') plus early in-person ballots ('Voted Early'); ballots provided but not yet returned are not counted.

- 2024: Days the archive missed come from a second copy of the same page: the downloads the MIT Election Data and Science Lab kept (github.com/MEDSL/2024-EPC). They are used only where they agree exactly with the archive on every day both hold, and only on days their own stamp matches the day they were downloaded; each row names its copy in the record's source.
- 2024: Florida's 2021 law (SB 90) made standing vote-by-mail requests lapse after each regularly scheduled general election; all requests carried over from 2020 lapsed after the 2022 general. 2022 mail volume is therefore not comparable with 2024 and 2026.
- 2024: 2 captured copies whose mail and early-voting counts were compiled on different days are left out.
- 2024: 7 MIT downloads whose own compile stamp is not the day they were downloaded are left out.
- 2024: 13 MIT downloads that are cut short, or whose counties do not add up to their own state total, are left out.
- 2024: 1 MIT mail days after early voting opened, with no early-voting file of the same day, are left out.
- 2024: 13 days come from MIT's copy alone; on all 9 days both copies hold, they agree exactly.
- 2024: 27 days captured by the archive, from 50 of its 636 copies (the first and last of each day); 40 days in all, 2024-09-07 to 2024-11-04.

How Maryland is counted and compared
- 2022 is read on the same day of voting as this year. Voting opened 40 days before the election in 2022 (September 29) and 45 days before it this year (September 19), so each year is read on the same day of its own voting.
- 2024 is read on the same day of voting as this year. Voting opened 46 days before the election in 2024 (September 20) and 45 days before it this year (September 19), so each year is read on the same day of its own voting.
- Counts mail-in ballots received by local boards (returned, whether or not yet accepted in the canvass) plus early in-person votes; ballots sent are not counted.
- U is every voter not registered as a Democrat or Republican (unaffiliated and minor parties).
- Age uses Maryland's own groups (18-24, 25-44, 45-64, 65+), not the tracker's standard bands.
- Early in-person voting runs October 22 to October 29; its file is not published yet.
- 2024: Each row is a day on which the Internet Archive captured the board's daily mail-in report: mail ballots received as of 6 PM that day, plus early in-person votes cast through that day from the board's final early-voting file. Days without a captured report are gaps, not carried forward. The capture behind each row is listed in the record's source.

Sources and methods: every state, and what each one’s files allow
Every state and DC is on this page, placed by what its own election office publishes while voting is under way (each office’s pages were read on October 18, 2026). A state is compared by party only when its files let Democrats and Republicans be set beside the same point in 2022 and 2024: it registers voters by party, publishes returns during voting, and its earlier party counts survive day by day, not only as a final total. The marker beside each state (three dots) says how far its comparison goes: filled for party compared day by day, two for party on the same day only, one for ballots alone against an earlier year, none for this year only.
Party, this year only: Louisiana and Oregon. Their files split this year’s ballots by party registration, but no party count survives for the same point of 2022 or 2024, so the split is shown with nothing to compare it with; the number of ballots is set beside an earlier year only on a day that year kept a count for. Ballots only: California, Texas, Virginia and Wisconsin. Texas, Virginia and Wisconsin do not register voters by party; California’s report has no party split. Their pages show ballots, mail or in person, places, and age and gender where the file has them. No party split is estimated or modeled for any state.
Counts published, but not in a form the tracker can read: Alaska, Arizona, District of Columbia, Georgia, Kansas, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, New York, Ohio, Rhode Island, Tennessee and Washington. Reading each of them by hand every day takes more time than this one-person site has for now (Maine’s file is the one downloaded by hand); support is what would make more of it possible. Counts that could be read, not read here yet: Delaware, Idaho, Mississippi, North Dakota, South Carolina and South Dakota. Vote early, but no count found during voting: Arkansas, Connecticut, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, Nebraska, New Jersey, New Mexico, Utah, Vermont, West Virginia and Wyoming. No early voting without an excuse: Alabama and New Hampshire. Each is listed under the board with its office’s page.
Florida and Maryland overwrote their daily counts in 2022 and 2024 and kept only the final ones. Their earlier days come from the copies the Internet Archive happened to save of the states’ own pages, so they are compared only on the days a copy exists; Florida’s 2024 gaps are partly filled from a second copy kept by the MIT Election Data and Science Lab, used only where it matches the archive exactly. Nevada is compared on Clark County’s mail ballots alone: only Clark County’s files can be read while voting is under way, and its past in-person files do not all carry party. Clark County processes its first large batch of mail ballots on a different day each year, so Nevada is compared with a year only once both have logged 5% of that year’s final mail count; the party gap waits too, because the county’s few early returns lean differently from its later ballots.
Each earlier year is read on the same day of its own voting where the state’s law or election office gives the first day of voting for both years, and otherwise at the same number of days before the election; each state’s own fold says which. Where 2022 kept no count for the day and 2024 did, the board compares with 2024 and names it.
A state gets the day-by-day chart once its counts share at least a week of days with 2022 or 2024; until then it shows where it stands, today beside the same day of an earlier year where a count for that day was kept, and says why there is no chart yet. Totals of all votes cast and each year’s result come from the Federal Election Commission’s compilations of the states’ official results: Federal Elections 2022 (the U.S. Senate race, or the House statewide where there was none) and the official 2024 presidential results. Nevada, counted on Clark County’s mail alone, is never set against a statewide figure.
Counts come straight from each state; we publish totals only and never the voter-level records some states release. See the methodology for how the forecast itself works; nothing on this page enters it.
