The United States presidential elections will be held on November 3. Meanwhile, more than a crore of voters have cast their votes in advance. As of Monday night, a total of 14 million votes had been cast, according to Reuters.
This number is much higher than the early voting trend in the 2016 presidential elections. Compared to the same period in 2017, 20 percent more early votes have been cast this time.
The massive turnout at the polls has taken everyone by surprise, despite widespread deaths in the United States from the coronavirus epidemic. Physical voting has already started in several states.
Early voting also takes place by mail in the United States. Long lines of voters have been noted in early voting that began in the state of Georgia.
Election officials said there was a great response from voters. However, there were reports of voters feeling embarrassed due to a malfunction in the voting machine on Monday morning local time.
According to NBC News, a voter named Everlyn Rutherford queued for 9 hours and 39 minutes at the main voting center in Marriott Cobb County in that state.
Then, at 6:43 pm, he was able to vote. Throughout the day, he posted long lines of photos and videos of voters on Twitter.
The main voting phase of the presidential elections will be completed on November 3. Several opinion polls have shown that Democratic candidate Joe Biden is ahead of Republican candidate Donald Trump. According to the survey, Biden has an advantage of about 10 points.
