This week's question was, How many states begin early general election voting in September?

You answered: 13.
The correct answer was 9.

In this election cycle, 45 states and Washington, D.C., will conduct no-excuse, in-person early voting for the November elections. In states that permit no-excuse early voting, a voter does not have to provide an excuse for being unable to vote on Election Day.

A total of nine states begin early general election voting in September. Another 33 states and Washington, D.C., begin early voting in October. Three states begin early voting in November. The remaining five states do not have no-excuse early voting.

The earliest start date for early voting takes place on Sept. 19, in Pennsylvania when absentee/mail-in ballots become available. Another three states—Minnesota, South Dakota, and Wyoming—begin their early voting periods on Sept. 23.

Thanks for your response!
