- Story Text: Millennial and Centennial voters shared on Monday (November 4) their experiences after voting early for the U.S. presidential election on Tuesday (November 5).
Young Americans have flooded social media sharing posts, videos, and pictures of themselves sporting their early voting stickers.
Millions of Americans have already cast their vote before the Nov. 5 election, which national polls, including the latest one from Reuters/Ipsos, and surveys in swing states, show is a close race between Republican Donald Trump and his Democratic rival Kamala Harris.
Some 46 million Americans have voted already, according to the Election Lab at the University of Florida, including some 2.8 million people in Georgia and 1.9 million people in Michigan, where Harris arrived on Monday.
That trails the roughly 60 million people that had voted early by about this point in 2020, at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.
