High turnout for early voting in the midterm elections in America

Atlanta, United States of America: The American midterm elections witnessed a large turnout by voters in the early voting process, Tuesday, surpassing the elections held in 2014 under the administration of former President Barack Obama. As of Tuesday morning, local American time, at least 33 million voters had cast their votes in all states, according to figures published by Catalyst, a company that works with Democrats and other parties to count votes before announcing the results by being present at the polls or by email.

The company's figures indicate that the number of early votes so far has exceeded the number in the 2014 elections, as the number reached 22 million votes at that time, and this is an indication of the great desire of Americans to judge what the Donald Trump administration has presented during the past two years. The first indicators of early voting showed that young people and those participating in elections for the first time, in addition to a high percentage of women, chose to vote for the Democrats.

Despite these indicators, it is still too early to jump to conclusions, as it is not clear at the moment whether the early votes are in the interest of Democrats or Republicans in important states. The turnout for these elections is still lower than the turnout for the 2016 US presidential elections, which is logical given the interest Americans pay to the presidential elections.

It is noteworthy that midterm elections are held every 4 years in the middle of the presidential term of each US president, in which Democrats and Republicans compete for seats in the House of Representatives and the Senate.
