June 2023 Primary Early Voting

This month, both Republicans and Democrats unveiled new "seven-figure" initiatives to promote early voting for the November elections, indicating a renewed focus on increasing voter turnout before Election Day. The June 2023 primary results revealed that a substantial portion of voters, in some districts almost half, opted for early voting. However, the preference for early voting methods differed between parties, with Republicans favoring in-person early voting, while Democrats predominantly opted for mail-in ballots during their party primaries.
