With five days to go until Election Day, Wisconsin has already surpassed the number of in-person absentee ballots cast in 2020.
As of the morning of October 31, 705,326 voters had cast their ballots in person.
That's compared to a total of 651,422 in-person absentee ballots cast in 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic.
In addition to the people who have voted early in person, 519,453 voters have returned absentee ballots in the mail - meaning a total of 1,224,779 Wisconsinites have already cast their vote.
That's still well shy of 2020's combined early voting total, which stands at 1,957,514.
In-person absentee voting, also known as early voting, has increased in popularity in recent elections.
Watch: How officials are working to protect elections:
Early voting deadlines vary based on where you live. Most communities will have their last day of in-person early voting on Friday, though Milwaukee will allow in-person voting throughout this weekend. You can get more information on the My Vote Wisconsin website.
