Despite some efforts to restrict access, nearly 97% of voting-age American citizens live in states that allow voting before Election Day. While partisan debates have focused on specific voting policies, the overall trend has been toward making it easier to vote. However, voter turnout remains a challenge, with experts emphasizing the importance of empowering and motivating people to participate in the electoral process.
