“The popularity and prevalence of early voting has rendered Election Day an outdated concept — for much of the country, the 2024 race countdown would be better described as election month,” Axios reports.
“Early voting in person or by mail has exploded over the past 24 years. According to the Center for Election Innovation and Research, in the year 2000, only 24 states offered citizens the ability to vote before Election Day. In 2024, 47 states do so.”
