What States Have Early Voting In 2016? Complete List For Where To Go To The Polls Before November 8 Election Day

For those who might be out of town or whose registered poll center may be too far away, or even those who have already made their decision between Republican Donald Trump, Democrat Hillary Clinton, Libertarian Gary Johnson, and the Green Party’s Jill Stein, early voting has largely begun across the country ahead of Election Day on Nov. 8.

Altogether, 37 states and the District of Columbia offer voters the opportunity to cast their ballot early, though the time ranges vary from state-to-state. Many states offer wide early-voting windows beginning in late September and October, while others have narrow windows, according to Vote.org.

For instance, Oklahoma will start early voting on Thursday, Nov. 3 but it will only run three days and end on Saturday, Nov. 5.

Other states like California, Idaho, and New Jersey have varying start dates to early voting, and many of the dates are picked by the individual counties rather than at the state level. Prospective early voters are encouraged to contact their local election officials in order to find out the correct start date.

North Carolina was the first state, among several, to mail out ballots to voters on Sept. 16, and many voters are choosing the early-voting method more and more, according to Time. In 2012, 35 percent of the ballots cast were done so early.

Here’s the full list of every state in the country, complete with when each begins and ends early voting for Election 2016.
