Early Voting Begins in Virginia, Minnesota, and South Dakota Ahead of U.S. Presidential Election

Early voting for the upcoming U.S. presidential election has commenced in the states of Virginia, Minnesota, and South Dakota.

Voters in these states are casting their ballots in person at designated polling stations to support their preferred candidates. Additionally, citizens in Minnesota and South Dakota can vote via email.

While the presidential election is set for November 5, early voting helps alleviate crowding and long lines on election day. Voters have the option to cast their ballots through mail, email, or by visiting polling stations.

This practice gained widespread popularity during the previous election when, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, over 100 million Americans voted before election day, either by mail or in person. As a result, many states have opted to continue offering early voting options this year.
