Less than a third of U.S. voters say they will cast their ballots in person on Election Day, the lowest percentage in American history, a new Yahoo News/YouGov poll shows. Nearly two-thirds plan to vote early — or have already voted.
According to the survey of 1,583 registered voters conducted Oct. 16-18, just 31 percent of respondents said they plan to vote in person on Nov. 3 — about half the number who voted in person four years ago — while 42 percent planned to vote by mail or had already, and 22 percent planned to vote in person before Nov. 3 or had already done so.
More than 35 million votes have already been cast, or more than a quarter of the 136 million Americans who voted in the presidential election in 2016.
