Summary
Absentee voting has commenced in Missouri and North Carolina as part of the early voting process for the 2024 election. This marks a significant step in the electoral timeline, with both states joining approximately 20 others that have already initiated early voting.
In North Carolina, the political landscape is particularly competitive, with the state being classified as a toss-up. Historically, North Carolina has not voted for a Democratic presidential candidate since 2008, but recent trends show a tightening race; a recent Fox News poll indicated that Vice President Kamala Harris is only one point behind former President Donald Trump. In Missouri, absentee voting also began, requiring voters to provide an excuse to obtain a ballot. The state has a deadline for ballot applications by October 23 and for ballot delivery by November 5. As the election approaches, these early voting opportunities are crucial for mobilizing voters and shaping the overall electoral outcome.
