Wayne County, North Carolina

County counts from the state's daily reports, one point per day. The state's county figures can lag a day, so a flat stretch is not necessarily a pause in voting.

Early ballots so far versus past final totals

One point per day from the state's daily reports. We have no county history for earlier elections, so there is nothing to compare against.

  • 2026 total so far

Early ballots are not final votes and do not show how people voted. Early voting can pull turnout forward from Election Day, so a fast pace now is not a forecast.

What we have, and what we do not

  • 2026AvailableDaily series from October 15, with every county, from the state's daily reports. County figures are captured by hand and do not refresh on their own. The latest statewide days come from a file with no timestamp.
  • 2022Partly availableFinal statewide totals, plus the state's own statewide comparison with the same point in 2022 for each day since October 15. No county history.
  • 2024Partly availableFinal statewide early in-person and by-mail totals. Not a same-day series, and no county history.

Data notes

  • County figures come from the state's daily report, captured by hand one day at a time. They do not refresh automatically, and counties can be a day behind in the state's report.

Sources

Figures come from official election offices where they publish them, and from the named public sources below where credit is required. We keep the original files and the time we fetched each one.
