Election Day is just 100 days away, with some voters able to cast their ballots in less time. Vice President Kamala Harris, the presumed Democratic nominee, has less than two months to campaign after President Joe Biden announced he will not seek a second term. Harris has already raised $126 million in the first three days after receiving the nomination. On the other hand, Republican nominee Donald Trump announced his reelection bid two years ahead of Election Day and has shifted his focus to Harris. Pennsylvania, a key battleground state, could start accepting ballots in just 50 days. There are various states with upcoming early voting periods, with some making it more difficult to apply for an absentee ballot. States such as Alabama, Mississippi, and New Hampshire do not offer early voting but provide other absentee options. The list of states with early voting periods is provided. States like Alabama and Arkansas start early voting on Oct. 21, while states like California and Nevada start on Oct. 7. The availability of ballots varies by state, with some starting as early as 45 days before the election. Overall, there is anticipation and preparation for the upcoming election as campaigns gear up for the race to the White House.
