Election 2024: What to know about mail-in voting
Millions of voters across the United States will vote by mail this year.
The COVID-19 pandemic greatly shifted how voting was conducted in 2020. In the 2016 and 2018 elections, roughly a quarter of all voters used a mail-in ballot. In the 2020 elections, about 46% of voters voted by mail. In the 2022 midterm elections, 35 million mail-in votes, about 31.9% of voters, cast their vote by mail.
Mail-in voting is expected to be strong this year, with some states making their voting laws more accessible. Former President Donald Trump, who once advocated against the process, appears to have changed his mind with the launch of his campaign’s grassroots program “Swamp the Vote USA.”
