Salt Lake City, UT, October 23, 2026 —
Early voting is rising nationally ahead of the midterm elections, according to the trend summary, as Democrats point to increased participation and polling suggests they are more motivated to vote than Republicans.
Data from states that track voters’ party registration shows Democrats accounting for a larger percentage of early ballots, the summary says. It does not identify the states or provide ballot totals, percentages or the period covered by the figures. The information therefore indicates a reported difference in the party composition of early ballots in those states, but does not quantify its size.
The summary also does not identify the polls, explain how voter motivation was measured or give results for either party. It does not specify whether the early-voting figures are being compared with earlier elections or with other measures of participation. Those details are not available, limiting what can be concluded from the reported trends.
Party registration information is available only for the states included in the data described in the summary. The figures should not be read as a complete national breakdown of early ballots by party: the summary does not provide a nationwide party-registration tally. Nor does it say whether the reported share of ballots reflects the number of registered voters in each party or another comparison.
Democrats are highlighting the participation trend, while the polling information points to a difference in stated motivation. The summary does not provide statements from individual officials, poll respondents or election administrators. It also does not describe what may be driving early voting or voter motivation.
With no specific figures, sources, state-by-state breakdown or polling details provided, the extent and scope of the reported differences remain unclear. The information available establishes only that early voting is described as rising nationally and that, in states with party-registration data, Democrats have cast a larger percentage of early ballots.
