As the official polling day for the U.S. election approaches on November 5, more than 70 million voters have already cast their ballots, according to the University of Florida's Election Lab. While this figure is below the 2020 record of 101.5 million due to the pandemic, it surpasses early voting totals from 2016 (47.2 million) and 2012 (46.2 million). In the race, Kamala Harris leads Donald Trump nationally with 48% to 47%. The election's outcome will hinge on swing states, where both candidates must secure at least three states to reach the 270 electoral votes needed to win.
