En español | Voters in many states are running out of time to cast an early in-person ballot ahead of Election Day. Early voting rules vary, with states like Arkansas and Maryland allowing any registered voter to cast a ballot at an early voting site. South Carolina is offering 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 ID. Check our guide to voting in your state or territory to see if and how you can vote before Election Day.
