Millions of voters across the United States will vote by mail this year.

The COVID-19 pandemic greatly shifted how voting was conducted in 2020. In the 2016 and 2018 elections, roughly a quarter of all voters used a mail-in ballot. In the 2020 elections, about 46% of voters voted by mail. In the 2022 midterm elections, 35 million mail-in votes, about 31.9% of voters, cast their vote by mail.
