Virginia Early Voting Surges Beyond 2021 Ahead 2025 Election

Early voting is in its final week across several key states ahead of the November 4, 2025, elections, with turnout notably surpassing previous midterm cycles. In Virginia, over 850,000 votes have already been cast as voters decide on critical statewide offices including governor, lieutenant governor, attorney general, and the entire House of Delegates, with the governor's race between Democrat Abigail Spanberger and Republican Winsome Earle-Sears drawing significant national attention. Alexandria, Virginia, reports early voting turnout significantly up from 2021, with two locations offering early voting until Saturday, and same-day registration available through the weekend and on Election Day. In Ohio, both Tuscarawas and Stark County Boards of Elections have expanded early voting hours, including extended weekday and weekend times, to accommodate voters before the deadline. Connecticut also maintains daily early voting hours with extended times on select days. Voters are encouraged to complete early voting before the final days to ensure their participation ahead of Election Day.
