Early voting has trended upward since 2008 per this article (https://carolinapublicpress.org/56769/early-voting-in-north-carolina-how-it-started-who-uses-it-and-how-to-do-it-in-2022/):
"In the 2008 and 2012 general elections, roughly 56% of the state’s total ballots came from early voting. That number jumped to 62% in 2016 and 65% in the 2020 general election, according to the state Board of Elections."
Personally, I am encouraged by the gender gap in early voting showing higher intensity for women. Please check out:
