CNN —While there are still five weeks until Election Day, voting is already underway across the country and a CNN review suggests pre-election voting this year will drop from the pandemic-era highs of 2020.
That’s a tiny fraction of the roughly 158 million votes cast for president in the 2020 election.
The downtick in interest in early voting so far shouldn’t be surprising.
The 2020 election featured historic levels of pre-election voting during the COVID-19 pandemic.
However, at the same point in the 2020 election, Democrats accounted for 66% of all ballot requests, while Republicans accounted for 24%.
