Fewer than Half of Votes in '22 Election Were Cast in Person

Fewer than half of all votes in the 2022 midterm elections were cast in person on Election Day, according to data compiled by the U.S. Election Assistance Commission’s Election Administration and Voting Survey, reports the Washington Post.

The voting landscape changed after the COVID-19 pandemic, with many states making changes to voting procedures or policies. Voting by mail decreased in 2022 compared to the 2020 general election, though rates remained higher than pre-pandemic levels at 31.9%.

Almost half of all voters voted in person on Election Day, and more than two-thirds of voters cast their ballots in person (either on or before Election Day) for the 2022 general election.
