Voter Demographics

Selected voter turnout rates by demographic groups from the Census Bureau's Current Population Survey (corrected for vote over-report and non-response bias).

Early Vote

Leading into some elections, near-real time early voting statistics -- mail ballots or in-person -- are collected for states or localities, where available. Legacy pages provided here almost certainly do not reflect realized totals as data collection typically stops on Election Day.
