More than 50 million people cast their votes/significant decrease in participation

According to the report of the University of Florida, more than 51 million people have participated in the early voting of the 2024 presidential elections in this country.

reported by Mehr News Agency According to Hill, the data of a monitoring organization at the University of Florida about early voting, indicates the participation of 51 million people in the 2024 US presidential election in the space of one week until the election day.

Accordingly, more than 24 million people have cast their votes electronically and about 27 million people have cast their votes in person. This figure is about a third of the participation in the 2020 elections, in which more than 154 million Americans participated, and due to the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic, most of them preferred electronic voting.

According to the Pew Research Institute, the 2020 election cycle recorded the highest participation rate in national elections since 1900 with a participation of about 66%. Now, Kamala Harris, the vice president and Donald Trump, the former president of the United States of America, are competing side by side with each other.

Although early voting is not a very good indicator for predicting the outcome of the election, it provides general information. The Democrats have a slight advantage in the participation rate and have cast 39.5% of their votes. On the other hand, the Republicans have contributed 36.1%. 24.4 percent was the share of the minority party or independent voters.

Female voters have so far outnumbered male voters by about 10 percent, and 54.1 percent of American women have participated in early voting. In recent election cycles, American women have registered to participate in the elections with millions more than men, and in all presidential elections since 1964, they have always participated more than men. More than 41% of the participants (men and women) are over 65 years old.
