Early in-person voting for the upcoming elections has begun in Hawaii, Utah, Missouri, and Wisconsin. Candidates are encouraging their supporters to cast their ballots early.
Wisconsin, a crucial swing state, saw a tight race in the 2020 presidential election, with President Biden winning by a narrow margin. The state is characterized by a White working-class population, with a majority of voters being White without a college degree. Democrats are aiming to activate Black and suburban voters in an effort to maintain high turnout in urban areas.
In the Senate race, incumbent Democrat Tammy Baldwin is facing Republican banker Eric Hovde as she seeks a third term.
Key down-ballot races in today’s early voting states include competitive House districts in Wisconsin’s 1st and 3rd Districts, Washington’s 3rd District, and others.
Early voting procedures and voter registration deadlines vary by state. In Hawaii, residents can register to vote by mail until October 28. In Utah, voters can register online or by mail until October 25. Missouri residents had until October 9 to register to vote. In Wisconsin, residents can register in person during early voting or on Election Day.
Overall, early voting provides an opportunity for voters to have their voices heard before Election Day and for candidates to mobilize their supporters in crucial swing states.
