Primary elections in Texas, Ohio, Pennsylvania and several other states have already come and gone. But voters in several other states can — or will soon be able to — cast a ballot early and in person to beat the lines on Election Day.
Early voting rules vary by state, with some, like Arkansas and Maryland, allowing any registered voter to cast a ballot at an early voting site. South Carolina will offer early voting for the first time this year thanks to a new election law.
Other states require voters to fill out absentee or mail ballots in person at clerks’ offices, while several states don’t allow early, in-person voting at all. Depending on your state, you may need to bring a driver’s license or other form of ID. Check our guide to voting in your state or territory to see if and how you can vote before Election Day.
