FACT FOCUS: Misinformation about voting spreads before Election Day - Arkansas Advocate

Early voting trends

Early voting trends in the 2026 midterm elections reveal high voter turnout across several states. In Mahoning County, Ohio, voters had a substantial turnout, while Cuyahoga County encountered extended lines. Misinformation about voting was widespread in Arkansas before Election Day. First-time voters in Indiana expressed their views. Illinois shared an end-of-term guide for early voters, and Tennessee's early voting turnout hit 1.28 million, nearly aligning with 2018 totals. NBC News followed these patterns.
