Florida records 669,000 early votes as rallies urge early voting

Early voting for the 2026 midterm elections is underway in Florida, with 669,000 ballots already cast, according to data reported by fox10phoenix.com.

Nationwide, millions of voters have participated in early voting, with California leading at over 757,000 early votes, followed by Virginia, Michigan, and Pennsylvania.

On October 17, hundreds of rallies were held across the U.S. by the No Kings network to encourage people to vote early. These events were part of a broader effort that has included marches and demonstrations over the past two years.

The rallies, described as nonpartisan, aimed to increase voter participation ahead of the November 3 general election. In other states, officials and activists urged citizens to use their constitutional power to vote.

The early voting push comes amid ongoing debates about mail-in ballots and election security, including a recent lawsuit filed by the Trump administration against California election officials regarding mail-in ballots from likely noncitizens.
