Last updated: 11/03/2020 01:04 AM Eastern Time Total Early Votes: **99,657,079** • In-Person Votes: **35,720,830** • Mail Ballots Returned: **63,936,249** • Mail Ballots Outstanding: **28,212,749** Only 343,000 short of 10^8. Not sure if they’ll update the page any more, But there’s almost certainly many more postal ballots than that either in transit or uncounted in various Elections Offices. ---

I heard on the local NPR affiliate this morning, that ballots have been returned by 73% of Washington’s eligible voters. ---

> [@Johnny\_L.A](#): > > I heard on the local NPR affiliate this morning, that ballots have been returned by 73% of Washington’s eligible voters As of when? I wonder how high that’ll get. In typical years, there’s pretty heavy usage of drop boxes on election day, _and_ we’re a “postmarked-by” rather than a “received-by” state when it comes to mailed ballots. It wouldn’t surprise me if we were in the vicinity of 85% when it was all said and done. ---

Since the report I heard was on at zero-dark-hundred, I can only presume as of last night. ETA: A quick google found the [WA SoS ballot return statistics page](https://www.sos.wa.gov/elections/research/ballot-return-statistics.aspx). As of yesterday: 4,877,969 voters in this election 3,545,289 total ballots received 72.7% of ballots have been received. So, yeah. 73% as of last night. ---

Too late to add: 79.4% of the ballots were returned for the 2016 elections, with the last ones accepted on 11/24/2016. The final date for accepting ballots was 11/29/2020, but the page shows no ballots were received in the last five days of the period. FWIW: The last day ballots will be accepted in Washington for this election is 11/24/2020. ---

My county in So FL is up to a hair under 72% of registered voters having voted as of 1pm. No idea how far behind real-time their data for in-person voting is: [https://www.browardsoe.org/](https://www.browardsoe.org/) ---

Colorado is at 70%. Our voter breakdown is about 28% Pub; 32% Dem; 40% unaffiliated so although a smaller percentage of unaffiliated voted have cast their ballots, the number is higher than either Pub or Dem ballots. As our counties tally the votes as they come in, I suspect most of the races will be known by 7:05MST ---

Last updated: 11/03/2020 03:37 PM Eastern Time Total Early Votes: **101,167,740** • In-Person Votes: **35,923,053** • Mail Ballots Returned: **65,244,687** • Mail Ballots Outstanding: **26,858,126** Yet another update. I trust they’re not including in-person votes from today. The 22,000 additional is likely just late reports from yesterday or earlier. ---
