Early Voting Period Ends Across States

Early voting in Massachusetts saw low turnout, with only 15.2% of registered voters in Lawrence participating, possibly due to language barriers and concerns about mail-in voting accuracy, while Chelsea reported 17.8% participation. In Texas, the early voting period concluded with varied turnout across counties, with some locations experiencing significantly lower participation rates as Election Day approaches. Georgia reported record early voting numbers statewide at 55.3%, although certain counties exhibited much lower turnout, with Chattahoochee County at just 32.0%. In Harris County, Texas, less than half of registered voters had voted early, prompting preparations for over 700 polling places for Election Day. Despite early voting being slow in East Texas towards the end, some counties like Angelina reported a 43% turnout overall. Voters across the states are encouraged to take part in the upcoming Election Day on November 5.
