North Carolina registered voters who have already asked for an absentee ballot will start receiving them Friday, kick-starting the 2020 election season.

Officials in North Carolina, a key swing state worth 15 electoral votes, predict that about 2 in 5 voters will cast their ballots in the race between President Trump and Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden by mail. That’s roughly 10 times more than usual, an exponential upward trend reflected around the country amid the coronavirus pandemic.
