Countdown to election day: What to expect as early voting nears
ROANOKE, Va. (WFXR) — Election Day is weeks away, but the election season is just days from beginning.
Tens of thousands of Virginians are expected to hit the polls as soon as Friday for the first day of early voting.
As it did across the nation, early voting played a significant role in the November 2020 general election and has maintained popularity since.
While the total number of ballots cast early dipped from 2.8 million in November 2020 to 2.3 million in November 2024, the number of in-person ballots rose from 1.7 million to 1.8 million.
