In-person early voting for the 2026 US midterm elections began on September 18 in several states, with Virginia, South Dakota, and Minnesota leading the way. In Virginia, voters can cast ballots until October 31, potentially influencing key House races where Democrats could gain seats in the 1st and 2nd congressional districts. South Dakota allows absentee voting starting from September 18, while Minnesota permits early voting on October 16. Illinois follows with early voting beginning on September 24 through November 2. These early voting periods reflect a trend of expanding pre-election ballot options across the US over the past two decades, though eligibility and procedures vary significantly by state. Despite election administrators' assurances about accuracy and security, concerns remain regarding attempts to reshape voting methods and challenges against certain voting practices.
