Early voting numbers

November 3, 2026 election · Source updated October 28, 2026

Secondary source report · County reporting cutoff not provided

Reported in-person early ballots: 3
Reported mail returns: 24
Reported total participation: 27

Secondary aggregation of reported early in-person ballots and mail returns. The source update time is not a county reporting cutoff; county reports can lag. Mail returns do not establish acceptance or tabulation. Projected final turnout, remaining-ballot estimates and modeled party margins are excluded. A reported zero is the publisher’s value, not proof of complete reporting.
