One week before the presidential elections scheduled to take place on November 5 in the United States, early voting has reached a record level. According to the latest data released by the University of Florida's Election Lab, more than 51 million American voters have already cast their ballots. In states where early voting is implemented, voters can use two different methods to cast their votes. According to the data, more than 24 million voters have voted by mail, while approximately 27 million voters have voted in person at polling places. This high participation demonstrates American voters' interest in the democratic process and the importance of elections. Experts interpret the high number of early votes one week before the elections as a sign that voters have made their preferences known early. Election observers indicate that the number of early votes may increase even further in the remaining time. It is believed that this high level of participation could significantly impact the election results. The early voting system provides flexibility for voters while also reducing the congestion that may occur on election day. This system also encourages more citizens to participate in the democratic process. The record level of early voting participation seen in this year's presidential elections is considered an important indicator of the development of American democracy and the increasing interest of voters in the political process.
