Early Voting Begins in Several US States Ahead of Nov. 3 Midterms
Minnesota, South Dakota and Virginia are among the first states to open early voting, with most other states expected to follow in the coming weeks, according to Anadolu Agency.

Early voting has begun in several U.S. states ahead of the Nov. 3 midterm elections, according to a report by Anadolu Agency, a Turkish state-run news outlet.
The report identified Minnesota, South Dakota and Virginia as among the first states to open polls for early voting, allowing eligible voters to cast their ballots in person or by mail before the official election day.
According to Anadolu Agency, most other U.S. states are expected to begin their own early voting periods in the coming weeks, following the timelines set by their respective state election laws.
Early voting procedures and timeframes vary widely across the United States, as each state sets its own rules for in-person early voting and absentee balloting ahead of federal election days.
Anadolu Agency did not provide additional details on voter turnout figures or specific dates for early voting in other states at the time of its report.
