Voters set to decide the highest number of ballot measures since 2018
By year’s end, voters will decide on as many as 160 statewide ballot measures, the most since 2018, when voters decided on 167 measures.
The Wednesday, Sept. 18th, Daily Brew covered some of the biggest trends for state ballot measures this year including: abortion policies, citizenship and voting, electoral systems, minimum wage and benefits, criminal justice, and drug use policies.
Early voting starts Sept. 20 in three states
In some ways, Sept. 20 is the official start of the 2024 general election – because early voting officially kicks off in Minnesota, South Dakota, and Virginia.
Early voting permits citizens to vote in person before Election Day. Forty-seven states offer no-excuse early voting. States that have in-person absentee/mail-in voting options are considered early voting states. Vermont and Illinois closely follow Minnesota, South Dakota, and Virginia, with early voting starting on Sept. 21 and 26, respectively.
