Early voting in Rio Grande Valley surpasses 2022 turnout ahead of 2026 Texas election

Early voting in the Rio Grande Valley has surpassed 2022 turnout levels, which may signal shifting voter dynamics for the 2026 Texas election. Meanwhile, in Virginia, more than 1.4 million citizens have already cast their ballots early. This figure represents an increase of approximately 577,000 voters compared to the 2022 midterm elections. According to the Virginia Public Access Project, this surge in early participation is being driven largely by uncertainty surrounding Election Day.
