Early voting begins in US midterm elections that could flip control of Congress

Early voting opens as Trump pushes election changes and polls show 1 in 10 Americans live in a different congressional district than in 2024.

  • In-Person voting for the midterm elections begins Friday, ushering in the final six weeks for Americans to decide who controls Congress amid a cost-of-living crisis and prolonged war in Iran.
  • President Donald Trump continues efforts to denigrate voting methods through court challenges and pressure campaigns, though research shows noncitizen voting remains exceptionally rare.
  • Minnesota Secretary of State Steve Simon urged voters Thursday not to be swayed by doubts about election operations, saying they can vote "just like they always have." Simon affirmed Minnesota's elections are "fundamentally free, fair, accurate, honest and secure."
  • Research shows 1 in 10 Americans reside in a different congressional district than in 2024 due to mid-decade redistricting, following a Supreme Court ruling earlier this year that weakened Voting Rights Act protections.
  • Hannah Fried, CEO of All Voting Is Local, encourages early mail-in voting to ease Election Day lines and provide voter options, despite recent operational changes at the U.S. Postal Service.
