Buffalo, NY, October 23, 2026 —

More than 21 million ballots have been cast early across the country ahead of the midterm elections, as early voting rises, according to the trend information provided.

Democrats are highlighting the early-voting figures as a sign of momentum. In states where voter data is available, registered Democrats and older voters make up a significant portion of ballots cast early. The information provided does not specify which states are included or give figures for those groups.

The reported total and the party breakdown describe different aspects of the early vote: one counts ballots cast, while the other concerns the composition of ballots in states with available data. The figures provided do not establish how early voters will ultimately vote, or whether the pattern will continue through Election Day. Democrats’ characterization of the trend as momentum is their interpretation of the data, not a stated election result.

The information provided does not identify the source or reporting date for the ballot count, explain how the total was compiled, or give comparisons with early voting in previous elections. It also does not provide state-by-state totals, the share of eligible voters who have cast ballots, or detailed figures for age and party registration. Those details are not available in the summary.

For now, the available information indicates that early voting has passed 21 million ballots nationally and that registered Democrats and older voters account for a significant share of early ballots in some states where data is available. It does not provide enough detail to determine how broadly those voter patterns apply across the country.
