How this is built

  • 2026 ballots are from each state's early vote file, latest as of Oct 26, counted through Oct 25. Each state runs through its own latest complete day. Rejected mail ballots don't count.

  • 2022 and 2024 are lined up by days before Election Day among today's registrants. Past early ballots with no return date are estimated, and a 2024 line drawn in short dashes is one where at least a quarter of that year's early vote had no date: they are spread across the early-voting period in the same pattern as that year's dated ballots of the same method and party. A note under the summary says when a state's comparison relies on this. A ballot recorded as cast at the polls but dated before Election Day counts as early in person.
  • In the tank is the expected vote from people who haven't voted yet, discounted more for groups that have already banked more of their vote. Independents still out are discounted further, in proportion to how much of the expected vote is already in: with 1% banked, 99% of their expected vote is left as the turnout model has it. Both adjustments come from past cycles.
  • Ballots from people not on the voter file (— here) count on the Pace tab only.
