early voters

Pre-election day participants

Early voters are people who cast their ballots before the official election day, taking advantage of early voting periods that allow citizens to vote at designated times and locations in the days or weeks preceding the main election.

The practice has become increasingly common in American elections: Early voters formed long lines at polling stations two weeks before election day.
