Early election voting is just a few weeks away
Election Day is in November, but voting begins much earlier. At the end of next week, the first mail ballots get sent to voters. And early in-person voting will start as soon as Sept. 20 in some states. The first batch of ballots typically sent out are ones to military and overseas voters. Under federal law, that must happen at least 45 days before an election — which this year is September 21. But some states start earlier. North Carolina will begin sending mail ballots to all voters who request them on September 6.
