2026 early voting: the VoteClock archive

Historical record for the November 3, 2026 general election. These dates, addresses, and opening hours describe the 2026 research. They are not verified for current or future elections. For today's polling location, use the Election Day lookup and your official election office.

What VoteClock built

VoteClock collected election-office early-voting locations, dates, hours, source references, and city/county search pages. The research files and page-building tools remain in the VoteClock project so they can be checked and adapted for later elections without reconstructing the entire directory.

Recorded reach during the first launch month

The launch-month window is September 30–October 29, 2026. VoteClock's own page-read tracking began October 12, so these are partial-period event counts, not unique people or complete first-month traffic. The metrics below were retrieved from VoteClock's Supabase tables on November 3, 2026.

• 22,079 recorded read events on 2,370 distinct early-voting URL paths (October 12–29).
• 38,273 recorded read events across the entire website on 2,963 URL paths in the same period.
• The early-voting group accounted for about 57.7% of all recorded read events in that period (a ratio of events, not of unique visitors).

Earlier traffic, search impressions, and unique visitor counts require other analytics sources. These figures should not be described as 22,079 people. Historical counts may include repeated reads.

Interpreting historical location counts

Location records are not always distinct physical sites. For example, VoteClock's archived Los Angeles County source file includes 667 labeled records at 645 distinct normalized street addresses. Twenty-three records use the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder's 12400 Imperial Highway, Norwalk address, including mobile, flex, pop-up and office entries. Those labels are preserved as received, but the 667 records must not be described as 667 distinct physical voting locations. Mobile or temporary assignments require separate election-office verification for any new election.

Reusing the research in future elections

The original state JSON files (in site/assets/early-*.json), the underlying election-office source material (in tools/design/sources/), and the local page generators (in tools/design/) remain in version control. Future election cycles should copy and update these records, checking official sources for each site's continuing availability, address, access rules, dates, and hours before any renewed public listing. Old data must never automatically be treated as currently verified.
