As of Wednesday, 24,024,621 million early and absentee ballots have been counted in the United States, NBC News reports.

There are six days to go before Election Day, and at this same time in 2014, during the last midterms, fewer than 13 million early or absentee ballots had been counted. The NBC News Data Analytics Lab has been focusing on several key states — Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Montana, Nevada, Tennessee, and Texas — and found that in each state, the six-day-out total is higher now than it was in 2014.
