Election Day, as it was once known, is no more. In 2020, with
COVID-19 raging, over 60% of American voters cast early ballots.
Even before the pandemic, more than one-third of voters routinely
did so. Early voting represents a radical change in American
elections. It means new options for voters, a new set of procedures
and responsibilities for election clerks, and new challenges for
political candidates and operatives. In Tuesday's Gone, Elliott
Fullmer explores the effects of this new reality. Applying new data
and innovative methods, he reports that early voting is bringing
new citizens to the polls and enhancing the quality of American
democracy. Examining four recent elections, he finds that both
early in-person and absentee options increase turnout by several
points when aggressively implemented by state and local officials.
Like any new public policy, however, early voting does come with
some notable side effects. Fullmer cautions that early voting
increases down-ballot roll-off, widens racial disparities in voting
access, and alters the competitive environment in presidential
nomination contests. He argues that these complications can (and
should) be addressed so that early voting can fully deliver upon
its promise.
