We're now exactly one week away from Election Day.
More than 62 million people had already voted early as of Monday, either in-person or by mail, and the figure could reach more than 85 million before Election Day. Overall turnout might surpass 150 million.
Early voting begins for registered voters in Massachusetts and Washington, D.C. For prospective voters in Connecticut, today is the last day to register to vote by mail and online. However, you can still register to vote in-person on Election Day.

"Our general recommendation is that, as a common-sense measure, you mail your completed ballot before Election Day, and at least one week prior to your state’s deadline," the Postal Service said in a statement.
