100 days until the election, but some can vote sooner: When does early voting start in each state?
Election Day is 100 days away, but some voters could cast their ballot in half that time.
That is less than two months of runway for Vice President Kamala Harris, who just became the presumed nominee for the Democratic party last week after President Joe Biden announced he would not seek a second term.
Republican nominee Donald Trump, on the other hand, announced he would seek reelection in November 2022, approximately two years ahead of Election Day.
Still, Harris' campaign is off with a bang, raising $126 million in the first three days after receiving the torch from Biden. In the meantime, Trump has pivoted his focus from Biden to Harris.
Pennsylvania, a key battleground state for this election, could accept ballots in just 50 days. That's less than a week after the tentative Sept. 10 debate hosted by ABC News, which Trump had agreed to before Biden backed out.
Here are the other states with early-voting periods coming up soon, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures:
