How this comparison is built
  • Same point means the same number of days before Election Day: 4 days out in both years.
  • 2024 source: Idaho Secretary of State, absentee and early voting tracker (days-until-election chart, 2024 General column).
  • Only absentee ballots issued (mail_requested) is in the state's chart; there is no 2024 chart for ballots returned or early in-person votes, and no county breakdown.
  • Dating of rows (days_out = chart row minus 1) is inferred from matching the 2026 row to the state's published 2026 figure, not stated by the state.
  • Idaho's tracker updates once a day, early in the morning Mountain time; the time of day is not in the chart.
