Early voting has commenced across several U.S. states, including Florida, Alaska, and Connecticut, as they prepare for their primary elections. In Florida, early voting is available in numerous counties, with absentee ballots being strongly encouraged for those unable to vote in person. Alaska's nonpartisan primary, featuring a unique ranked-choice voting system, has also started, with voters selecting candidates for state and federal positions. Connecticut is holding its first-ever early voting period for a state primary, following recent legislation to expand voter access. This early voting phase aims to accommodate various voter preferences and ensure higher participation rates in the upcoming elections.
