Election Collection 2022: State election November 8
Wednesday, September 14, 2022
CommonWealth Magazine: "Half of primary ballots cast before Election Day"
"ELECTION DAY may be a misnomer.State primary turnout figures make clear a new reality, with important implications for campaign strategies: Election Day is actually election season. For the second time in as many election cycles, fewer than half of ballots were cast on Election Day itself. More were cast early, either in person or, primarily, by mail. "
