US Presidential Election 2024

The United States of America is set to hold its presidential election on November 5, and with only two weeks left, the election campaign is in full swing. Republican Party's candidate, former President Donald Trump, and Democratic Party's candidate, current President Joe Biden's running mate, Vice President Kamala Harris, are leaving no stone unturned to win the election. Although there is still time for the election, a significant number of votes have already been cast.

Over 2.1 crore votes have been cast

According to information, around 2.1 crore votes have already been cast in the upcoming American election. This includes the vote of former American President Barack Obama. Most people have cast their votes through mail. According to the data from the University of Florida's election laboratory, around 78 lakh votes have been cast through in-person voting at polling stations, while the remaining 1.33 crore votes have been cast through mail.

America's unique feature

In America, there is a unique provision for early voters, where voters can either cast their votes through mail-in ballots, similar to India's postal ballots, or they can vote in person at designated polling stations, which open several weeks before the national election day in many states.
