[앵커]

Ten days before the US presidential election, more than 54 million voters completed the mail vote and pre-field vote.

Four years ago, the number of pre-voting participants already exceeded 47 million. The proportion of Republican and Democratic supporters was similar in the pre-vote, but Democratic supporters more than doubled by mail.

It is a preparatory process for counting the ballots before Election Day before Election Day, so that invalid votes can be selected and scanned with a machine while observers from the Republican and Democratic parties are watching.

This election has more votes by mail than ever due to COVID-19.

According to the election information analysis site, The US Election Project, 38 million mail-in ballots have already reached the counting office.

That means 44% of applicants to vote by mail have voted.

The number of participants with on-site preliminary voting who visited and cast their votes before Election Day exceeded 16 million.

More than 54 million people are said to have voted 10 days before Election Day.

That’s more than 47 million participants in the vote leading up to the presidential election four years ago.

In 10 states, including Florida and North Carolina, where pre-election voters’ preferred parties were revealed, Republican and Democratic supporters had a similar share of the vote of about 39%.

However, in the case of voting by mail, the proportion of Democratic supporters was 52%, more than double that of Republican supporters, who were 24%.

Four years ago, more than 39% of voters were counted to have voted early, and as the presidential elections approach the last minute, the gathering of supporters from the Republican and Democratic parties is expected to show a record electoral rate. .
