The electoral process quite different from India
Let us tell you that the process of elections in india and America is completely different. While in india, campaigning completely stops 36 hours before the election. In Washington, both campaigning and voting go on parallel to each other for at least four weeks. Presidential elections are to be held in America on november 5.
These seven states will elect the President.
Political experts say that the winner will be decided based on election results in seven states Arizona, Nevada, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and Georgia.
This is how you can cast your vote early.
Early voting is a different and special provision for American voters, in which voters can cast their vote either through post-in-ballot or by going to polling centers that open a few weeks before the actual voting in many states. Post-in-ballot is in some ways similar to the postal ballots of India.
Many queues are seen in many places
According to the election Lab at the university of Florida, the early voting percentage among Asian Americans is just 1.7 percent. However, many Indian-Americans were seen standing in queues to cast their votes at many places. 88-year-old Chanchal Jhingan and his daughter Vandana Jhingan stood in line to exercise their right to vote in a suburb of Illinois on october 21. They said that they voted for a person who can make America great again.
At the same time, Jitendra R. Digvankar, who went to vote in Texas, faced a huge line. He said, 'The parking lot here is full. people are coming every minute. I advise every American citizen to re-register and vote.'
People supporting the Republican candidate are voting in large numbers. According to media reports, more Republicans are voting early than expected. "They (Republicans) have done a better job of motivating their voters to vote early," said sam Almy, a Democratic political strategist who monitors early ballots in Arizona. "I think they have realized that early voting is easy and convenient. It gets your voters to vote early. Also, there is no risk of voters changing their mind on election day."
According to election Lab, 41.3 percent of Republicans who voted in person have voted so far, while Democrats have voted 33.6 percent. In terms of mail-in ballots, both parties, Democrats (20.4 percent) and Republicans (21.2 percent), are almost equal.
According to a report, Republican voters are voting in large numbers with early voting in important states, which could pave the way for former President Donald Trump's victory. In the state of georgia, one-fourth of the voters have already voted. According to the georgia Secretary of State's office, more than 18.4 lakh Georgians have cast their ballots.
Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger said, 'We are trying to include about 14 lakh people who have already voted or whose absentee ballots we have accepted. We are probably going to see a record turnout. 65 or 70 percent of Georgians will participate in early voting, but they have free will in how they vote.'
