The United States is ready to elect a new president. The country will elect a new president on November 4. But before then, as early voting was taking place, there was chaos as the race between the two candidates, Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, was said to be too close.
According to the University of Florida Elections Laboratory, 28 million people have already voted early. Most voting takes place by mail.
2.8 million people have voted in pre-poll so far
So far, about 28,000 people have voted in pre-voting ahead of the U.S. presidential election. In fact, early polls in the United States are conducted before elections. In the United States, people can vote early by mail or by going to a voting center.
This early voting is already happening in many states and is happening in many places at the same time. This time, Republicans appeared to be in the lead in preliminary pre-poll surveys, while before that, Democrats were ahead.
The record in 2020 may be broken!
This time, early voting is increasing as Election Day approaches. This time, people voted in large numbers before voting. It is believed that this time may break the record of early voting held in 2020.
In 2020, about 60% of Democratic voters and 32% of Republican voters voted by mail, according to the MIT Election Data and Science Laboratory. In the last election, Biden gained ground in the primaries. Trump, meanwhile, has repeatedly objected to early polls. He has said voting by mail could be fraudulent.
In pre-poll surveys, Trump received 47% of the vote, while Kamala Harris received 45%. The survey was conducted among 1,500 registered voters between October 19 and 22. Trump is favored over Kamala Harris in this survey.
How do U.S. citizens vote?
The way you vote before Election Day in the United States is very different from other countries. Here, voters vote by mail by writing their name. This vote took place before the actual election date. As with Indian general elections, the code of conduct is implemented about 36 hours before voting. Meanwhile, in the United States, voting and campaigning last about four weeks.
