More than ten million Americans have already voted | Abroad

It had already been predicted that many more people this year would record their choice between sitting President Donald Trump and Democratic party challenger Joe Biden by letter votes.

Polling stations are also open in a number of states. For example, on Monday in the state of Georgia, the polls were opened and there were long lines in some places, American media report. Florida is the leader so far with over 1.6 million early voters.

The large number can be explained by the expansion of the possibilities to vote by mail due to the corona virus. Early voters want to avoid crowds at polling stations. Another explanation for the high number, according to the Elections Project, is that many people have already formed their opinions.

In addition to electing president, Americans can also vote for 35 candidates for the Senate, 435 seats in the House of Representatives, state assemblies, prosecutors and sheriffs.
